Gatineau Perfection Ultime Miracle Eye Contour Cream
Works for
MoisturizingCyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone + 15 moreWorks
“Enriched with a blend of ginseng root extract and grape seed extract, the cream visibly refines the skin, while hyaluronic acid and vitamin E deeply hydrate and condition.”
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:
glycerin, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans.
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: dimethicone, dimethiconol.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Vitis vinifera seed extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extract + 5 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (vitis vinifera seed extract) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - camellia sinensis leaf extract, ginkgo biloba leaf extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
Anti-agingSide benefit the brand mentions · Vitis vinifera seed extract, Camellia sinensis leaf extract + 3 moreMay help
“The non-drying formula works to gently ease tired-looking eyes and revitalise with a youthful radiance.”
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.
