Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Babyface - Complete Eye Cream w/ Caffeine, Haloxyl, Eyeliss, Matrixyl & Tranexamic Acid - Regular Size" can work well for skin moisturization. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, butylene glycol, caprylyl glycol and sorbitol 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). Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, sesamum indicum seed oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil and squalane in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • This moisturizer also contains Peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.60%, dipeptide-2 0.25% - 0.50%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.60%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.60%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.40% - 0.60% and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.45% - 0.65%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that they are helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
