Clarins Eye Care Double Serum Eye Global Age Control Concentrate
Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Squalane + 6 moreWorks
“The formula is enriched with plant extracts and a high level of naturally derived ingredients, designed to support hydration, comfort and a more radiant finish without feeling heavy on the skin.”
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, butylene glycol.
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: squalane, pentylene glycol.
