“Natural aging, stress, lack of sleep, dehydration, hormonal imbalance and environmental allergies can all do serious damage to the eye area.”
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:
sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol.
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: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, caprylyl glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: dipeptide-2, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-9
Anti-agingSh-polypeptide-1, Sh-oligopeptide-1 + 8 moreModerate evidence
“Powered by our proprietary Filmatrix Technology, this lightweight gel forms an invisible film to tighten and lift on contact—while caffeine, peptides, and botanical extracts work beneath the surface to reduce inflammation, support elasticity, and visibly fade dark circles instantly and over time.”
This product contains centella asiatica extract, dipeptide-2, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, sh-oligopeptide-1, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-1, sh-polypeptide-11, sh-polypeptide-9. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
Evens skin toneCamellia sinensis leaf extractWeak evidence
Effective ingredients missing or their concentration is too low
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Centella asiatica extract, Caffeine + 5 moreModerate evidence
This product contains antioxidants (centella asiatica extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
