MoisturizingPalmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, Acetyl hexapeptide-8 + 12 moreStrong evidence
“Alleviate tired eyes with Erno Laszlo’s Multi-Tasking Eye Gel Cream ; a hybrid eye treatment that has the nourishing properties of a serum infused into a pudding-textured cream that melts into skin for cushiony, breathable hydration.”
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:
algae extract, 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: helianthus annuus seed oil, algae extract.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, dipeptide-2, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7
Anti-agingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Dipeptide-2 + 2 moreModerate evidence
“Harnessing the potent powers of chlorophyll-rich Algae, plant extracts, peptides and brightening Apple extract for a vitamin C kick, the breakthrough pressed serum works to dramatically reduce the appearance of fine lines, bags, puffiness and dark circles for a well-rested look.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, dipeptide-2, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. 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.

Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "Erno Laszlo - Multi-Task Eye Gel Cream" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Erno Laszlo - Multi-Task Eye Gel Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, algae extract, glycerin and butylene glycol) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (algae extract, helianthus annuus seed oil, cyclopentasiloxane, olea europaea fruit oil and glyceryl stearate) 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
- This moistruizer also contains peptides (dipeptide-2 0.01% - 0.05% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.05% - 0.15%). Peptides is a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of amino-acids. Our skin produces peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of peptides is, but it is very likely that peptides in skincare are helpful. They might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
