“Fortified with sodium hyaluronate and olive oil, the fast-absorbing cream delivers long-lasting hydration and smoothens the appearance of fine lines, whilst boosting elasticity and firming skin to reveal refreshed, rested eyes.”
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:
biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.

“Restore youthful-looking, rejuvenated peepers with DHC's Concentrated Eye Cream ; a powerful formula that works to combat visible signs of ageing, fade dark spots and banish signs of fatigue, whilst remaining gentle to the delicate eye area.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.This ingredient - magnesium aluminum silicate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
