ARK Skincare ARK Reverse Gravity Eye Cream
Works for
Anti-agingAspartic acid, Serine + 1 moreMay help
“Rejuvenate the delicate eye area with ARK's Reverse Gravity Eye Cream ; a powerful, anti-ageing formula that works to minimise the appearance of dark circles, puffiness and wrinkles.”
This product contains aspartic acid, serine, threonine. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Glycerin, Vitis vinifera seed oil + 14 moreWorks
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
alanine, allantoin.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: arginine, vitis vinifera seed oil.
