Moisturizing12 ingredients credited for this claimGood support
“Helps to hydrate and soothe irritation keeping puffiness, redness and dryness at bay.”
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:
glycerin, sodium pca.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, cocos nucifera oil.
Anti-aging3 ingredients credited for this claimLimited support
“Dr Roebuck's Down Under Collagen Boosting Eye Treatment is a luxuriously rich eye treatment designed to boost collagen and treat visible signs of aging in the 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.These ingredients - butyrospermum parkii butter, sodium salicylate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

“A blend of energising caffeine, conditioning rosehip oil and cooling arnica seeks to reduce the appearance of dark circles and discolouration, while helping to diminish the look of puffiness.”
