Dr. Barbara Sturm Eye Cream

Based on the ingredient list, "Dr. Barbara Sturm - Eye Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Humectants in this product (panthenol, betaine, biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin and pantolactone) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Macadamia integrifolia seed oil, dicaprylyl carbonate and pentylene 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.

Ingredient callouts

• This formulation also includes panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) at about 1.10% - 1.60% concentration. In this concentration, panthenol works effectively to improve the skin barrier and reduce inflammation.
