“What it is An eye cream that targets the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes, from fine surface lines to frown lines and crow's feet, for a visibly rejuvenated eye area, day after day.”
This product contains centella asiatica leaf 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.

“What it does This eye cream uses corrective technology with proven efficacy that combines honey and royal jelly, exclusive to Guerlain, with hyaluronic acid for skin that is hydrated and plumper.”
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:
fructose, 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalane.
