“Fine lines and wrinkles are reduced, dark circles improved, the delicate eye area is more refined, skin tone is more even, and a soft, radiant complexion is revealed.”
This product contains barley sh-oligopeptide-1. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
MoisturizingGlycerin, Sodium hyaluronate + 1 moreWorks
“The addition of Hyaluronic Acid further plumps the skin, as well as deeply hydrating all skin types.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
