Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Balea - Men Energy Q10 Anti-Fatigue Eye Gel" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Balea - Men Energy Q10 Anti-Fatigue Eye Gel ticks this box. Humectants in this product (panthenol and glycerin) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (c12-15 alkyl benzoate and isononyl isononanoate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
