“This potent formula deeply hydrates the eye area while visibly firming the skin for a smooth, bright, youthful-looking appearance.”
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, 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: dimethicone, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, phytosphingosine
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 2 moreMay help
“This potent formula deeply hydrates the eye area while visibly firming the skin for a smooth, bright, youthful-looking appearance.”
This product contains palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5. 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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Chrysin, Vitis vinifera seed oil + 1 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (chrysin) 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.
Evens skin toneSide benefit the brand mentions · Chrysin, N-hydroxysuccinimideMay help
“bright”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: chrysin.

Product summary
"DRMTLGY - Advanced Eye Cream" has a good moisturizing formula. This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Glycerin and butylene glycol 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). Ceramide eop, ceramide np, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and phytosphingosine 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
- As a plus, this moisturizer also contains Ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.20% - 0.80%, ceramide eop 0.20% - 0.75%, ceramide ap 0.15% - 0.65%, ceramide np 0.30% - 0.75%, ceramide eop 3.40% - 5.10%, ceramide ap 4.60% - 6.90% and ceramide np 3.90% - 5.90%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.20% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.15% - 0.60%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.20% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 1.60% - 2.40%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 1.90% - 2.80% and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 2.40% - 3.50%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
