3 dimethicone A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish
4 isododecane An emollient that helps soften the skin and can decrease moisture loss. Helps create a nice product texture
5 butylene glycol Used to create a nice product texture and help delivery of other ingredients. Might be somewhat helpful in attracting water to the upper layer of the skin
6 bis-peg-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane A type of silicone that helps soften the upper layer of the skin and create a nice product texture
7 glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
8 laminaria saccharina extract A seaweed extract that contains sugars and can be helpful in attracting water to the upper layers of the skin if used in high enough concentrations
9 polygonum cuspidatum root extract A plant extract that can contain resveratrol, an antioxidant that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. The effectiveness depends on the extract quality and concentration in the product
10 saccharomyces lysate extract Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can have some anti-inflammatory effect
11 cucumis sativus (cucumber) fruit extract Might be somewhat helpful in reducing hyperpigmentation and neutralizing free radicals but its typical concentration in a product is too low for having an effect
12 hordeum vulgare (barley) extract\extrait d'orge A plant extract that might have some anti-oxidant properties. Avoid if you are sensitive to gluten
13 helianthus annuus (sunflower) seedcake Used to thicken the product consistency
14 caffeine Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes
15 trehalose A sugar that attracts water to the upper layer of the skin
16 sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin
17 tocopheryl acetate A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.

19 silica Used to absorb oil and can temporarily mattify skin
20 propylene glycol dicaprate An emollient that helps soften the upper layer of the skin
21 oleth-10 Helps oil and water mix together
22 lactobacillus ferment A fermentation product created by bacteria Lactobacillus. The fermented product has anti-bacterial properties and might be helpful in calming down inflammation, but studies are lacking. Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Can be used as a preservative

It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid
40 lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)
