Product summary

Based on the ingredients included, "Darphin - Hydraskin Hydratation All-Day Eye Refresh Gel-Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Darphin - Hydraskin Hydratation All-Day Eye Refresh Gel-Cream ticks this box. Urea, artemia extract, glycerin, imperata cylindrica root extract and sodium hyaluronate 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). Cholesterol, squalane, hydrogenated vegetable oil and caprylyl glycol 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.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: caprylic/capric triglyceride and laminaria saccharina extract
