be the skin Vitavita Circle Zero Eye Cream

"be the skin - Vitavita Circle Zero Eye Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, hexapeptide-9, panthenol and betaine) 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 (palmitoyl tripeptide-1, tripeptide-1, hydrolyzed collagen, dimethicone and butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

• This moisturizer also contains Peptides (palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.10% - 0.35%, hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.35%, tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.40%, dipeptide-2 0.10% - 0.30%, nonapeptide-1 0.10% - 0.30%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.35%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.10% - 0.30%, copper tripeptide-1 0.05% - 0.25%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.05% - 0.25%, sh-polypeptide-1 0.05% - 0.25% and sh-oligopeptide-1 0.05% - 0.25%). 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.
• Adenosine 0.05% - 0.25%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
• An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 1.50% - 2.20%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.
