Charlotte Tilbury Mini Miracle Eye Wand 1-Fair
Works for
MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 20 moreWorks well
“With a rich, line-lessening eye cream to lift, tighten and hydrate the eye area (it's brimming with hyaluronic acid and salicornia extract, alongside rice proteins to firm and de-puff bags), alongside a light-reflective camouflage to neutralise blue tones and detract from dark circles, this is the ultimate foil for too-late nights, too-early mornings (or too many cosmopolitans).”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 4 moreMay help
“With a rich, line-lessening eye cream to lift, tighten and hydrate the eye area (it's brimming with hyaluronic acid and salicornia extract, alongside rice proteins to firm and de-puff bags), alongside a light-reflective camouflage to neutralise blue tones and detract from dark circles, this is the ultimate foil for too-late nights, too-early mornings (or too many cosmopolitans).”
This product contains palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1. These ingredients 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.
Evens skin toneSide benefit · Chrysin, N-hydroxysuccinimide + 1 moreMay help
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: chrysin, glycine soja protein.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Squalene, Chrysin + 3 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (chrysin, squalene) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

This product could be helpful for: Evens skin tone and Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.45% - 0.65% and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.40% - 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 theynare 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.
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.25%, glycerin 2.10% - 2.60% and glycerin 0.30% - 0.60%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
