What does the product description say?
"Enriched with Grape Stem cells, Seaweed, Green and White Teas and Hyaluronic Acid, the active serum gets to work on fine lines, wrinkles, puffiness and dark circles; its brightening and hydrating properties help to energise skin around the eyes, alleviating tell-tale signs of age and tiredness for more illuminated looking skin."
From: Lookfantastic Australia

WIMJ FORMULA ANALYSIS

Yes. Has good ingredients to attract water to the skin. But: it can't help seal in the moisture and reduce water loss over time, so you might want to use an additional product with good emollient ingredients (like oils, butters, or silicones)
