Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Eclat Skin London - UNDER EYE CREAM 24K GOLD x 3" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Eclat Skin London - UNDER EYE CREAM 24K GOLD x 3 ticks this box. Urea, betaine, glycerin, saccharomyces cerevisiae extract and sodium hyaluronate 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). Argania spinosa kernel oil, borago officinalis seed oil, isopropyl myristate, cera alba and cetyl alcohol 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

  • This product also contains vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid). It can be an effective active for anti-aging and evening out the skin tone, but in this moisturizer it is used for stabilizing other ingredients in the formulation. In this concentration (0.15% - 0.55%) it cannot have a noticeable benefit for the skin.
  • This moisturizer includes a form of retinoids (vitamin A) - retinyl palmitate 0.15% - 0.55%, but this type of vitamin A is not very effective. It could in theory help with fine lines and wrinkles, but the effect is most likely minimal.
