Eyenlip Black Snail Slime Hydrogel Eye Patch
Works for
MoisturizingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Glycerin + 8 moreWorks well
“This eye patch moisturizes and helps brighten the skin around the eyes.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": allantoin, glycerin.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8
Anti-agingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Camellia sinensis leaf extractMay help
“Helps smoothen the skin around the eyes, while helping to improve and wrinkles and skin elasticity.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8. This ingredient 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.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.01% - 0.05%). 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.
- In addition, this product contains Allantoin (0.45% - 1.00%). Allantoin is helpful in wound-healing and can help restore the skin barrier faster. It might also be able to improve scars, but the evidence is not very strong for this.
- Humectants (acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.01% - 0.05%, snail secretion filtrate 0.15% - 0.50%, sucrose 0.10% - 0.40% and glycerin 4.80% - 7.20%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
