MoisturizingGlycerin, Tartaric acid + 12 moreWorks
“Rejuvenate the eye area with this eye patch infused with seven types of hyaluronic acid, cica extract and aloe vera extract to hydrate and brighten skin.”
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:
glycerin, hyaluronic acid.
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: hydrolyzed collagen, cetyl ethylhexanoate.

Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low
Anti-agingSide benefit · Adenosine, Centella asiatica leaf extract + 1 moreWorks well
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: centella asiatica leaf extract.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Tartaric acid, Tocopheryl acetate + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (tartaric acid) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

- Humectants (hydrolyzed collagen 0.05% - 0.25%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.50%, hyaluronic acid 0.15% - 0.60%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.15% - 0.65%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.20% - 0.75%, sodium hyaluronate 0.30% - 0.70%, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans 0.30% - 0.75% and glycerin 3.80% - 5.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
