Anti-agingVitis vinifera seed extract, Magnesium ascorbyl phosphate + 2 moreMay help
“Packed with polyphenols, powerful antioxidants known to defend against wrinkle-causing free radicals.”
This product contains vitis vinifera seed extract. 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.
MoisturizingSimmondsia chinensis seed oil, Hydrolyzed soy protein + 8 moreWorks
“Benefits Lotus Eye Gel with calming cucumber extract is a hydrating and revitalizing treatment that alleviates the appearance of puffiness, dark circles, and signs of fatigue with a unique combination of highly-developed and preventative botanicals.”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: helianthus annuus seed oil, simmondsia chinensis seed oil.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).

Three steps removed from the active form of vitamin A - retinoic acid. To have an effect in the skin, it first needs to be converted twice to become the retinoic acid. This means it is less potent than retinol, but could also be less irritating. Once converted to the retinoic acid in the skin, it helps against all signs of aging, improves skin cell turnover and helps fight blemishes and clogged pores. However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect
