Fillerina 12HA Densifying Eye Contour Cream

Based on the ingredient list, "Fillerina - 12HA Densifying Eye Contour Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Humectants in this product (arginine, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, hydrolyzed collagen and hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans) 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 (hydrolyzed collagen, oryza sativa bran oil, arginine, butyrospermum parkii butter and dimethicone) 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

• We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.20% - 0.40%, palmitoyl hexapeptide-52 0.20% - 0.40%, palmitoyl heptapeptide-18 0.20% - 0.35%, acetyl hexapeptide-37 0.20% - 0.35% and acetyl hexapeptide-30 0.20% - 0.40%). 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.
