MoisturizingHexapeptide-11, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 21 moreWorks well
“Other powerhouse ingredients, like Aloe Vera, Purslane Extract, and Sunflower Seed Oil help to hydrate and protect the skin against blue light and future signs of aging.”
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:
betaine, diglycerin.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: hexapeptide-11, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1
Anti-agingHexapeptide-11, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 4 moreMay help
“Want all eyes on you? This peptide-infused eye cream cares for the delicate skin around the eyes, helping to reduce the look of fine lines, dark circles and under eye puffiness for a younger, brighter and well-rested appearance.”
This product contains hexapeptide-11, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1. There is some human evidence that these ingredients help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.

Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "Grande Cosmetics - GrandeREVIVE Brightening Eye Cream" works well for improving skin hydration This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Humectants in this product (betaine, diglycerin, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and sodium lactate) 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 (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil and cetearyl alcohol) 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 (hexapeptide-11 0.40% - 0.90%, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.70% and n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate 0.15% - 0.70%). 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.
