“Finally, Chondroitin Sulfate helps create a 3D scaffold with Hyaluronic Acid molecules.”
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:
arginine, 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: arginine, butyrospermum parkii butter.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-30, acetyl hexapeptide-37, palmitoyl heptapeptide-18, palmitoyl hexapeptide-52, palmitoyl tripeptide-38
Anti-aging8 ingredients credited for this claimModerate support
“3 COLLAGEN MOLECULES for the firmness and compactness of the skin.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-30, acetyl hexapeptide-37, palmitoyl heptapeptide-18, palmitoyl hexapeptide-52, palmitoyl tripeptide-38. 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
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.
