Elizabeth Arden CERAMIDE PREMIERE REGENERATION EYE CREAM

Based on the ingredients included, "Elizabeth Arden - CERAMIDE PREMIERE REGENERATION EYE CREAM" works well for moisturizing the skin. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Elizabeth Arden - CERAMIDE PREMIERE REGENERATION EYE CREAM ticks this box. Acetyl tetrapeptide-5, faex, glycerin, soy amino acids and hydrolyzed soy protein 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). Emollients in this formulation (ceramide 1, ceramide 3, ceramide 6 ii, phytosphingosine and butyrospermum parkii butter) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

• As a plus, this moisturizer also contains ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.30% - 0.55%, ceramide 6 ii 0.30% - 0.55%, ceramide 3 0.30% - 0.55% and ceramide 1 0.30% - 0.60%). 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 (acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.25% - 0.45%). There are many different kind of peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of amino-acids. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective peptides in skincare are, 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.
