DRMTLGY Advanced Eye Cream

"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.
