Product Summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Clinique - Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Clinique - Smart Clinical Repair Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream ticks this box. Acetyl glucosamine, acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, glycerin and glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, cholesterol, jojoba esters and beeswax in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

  • This moisturizer also contains Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.50% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.45% - 0.70%, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.45% - 0.65%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.45% - 0.65% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.45% - 0.70%). 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.
This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: stearic acid, vitamin e, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, dipentaerythrityl hexacaprylate/hexacaprate, dipotassium glycyrrhizate and sigesbeckia orientalis extract
