Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "BABOR - Skinovage Vitalizing Eye Cream 4" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. BABOR - Skinovage Vitalizing Eye Cream 4 ticks this box. Panthenol, biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin, lactobacillus ferment and pantolactone in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (isopropyl myristate, butyrospermum parkii butter, simmondsia chinensis seed oil, squalane and cetearyl alcohol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
