“Instantly revive tired eyes with biodegradable hydrogel eye masks that brighten, depuff, and hydrate for a fresh, well-rested look.”
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:
betaine, glycerin.
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: chondrus crispus extract, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-5, palmitoyl tripeptide-5
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-5, Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 + 2 moreMay help
“Firms, tightens, and reduces the appearance of fine lines”
This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-5, 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.
Evens skin toneGlycyrrhiza glabra root extract, NiacinamideNot delivered
“Brightens dark circles and evens skin tone”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

Ingredient callouts
- A good concentration of Niacinamide (5.20% - 7.80%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
- Peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.15% - 0.65%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.15% - 0.65%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.85% - 1.25% and acetyl tetrapeptide-5 1.00% - 1.50%). 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. They 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.
- Humectants (sucrose 0.15% - 0.60%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.15% - 0.65%, hyaluronic acid 0.15% - 0.65%, betaine 0.15% - 0.65%, glycerin 0.35% - 0.85%, algae extract 0.50% - 1.15%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 1.00% - 1.50% and hyaluronic acid 4.50% - 6.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
