MoisturizingPalmitoyl tripeptide-5, Glycerin + 9 moreWorks well
“The ultimate helping hand in cooling, hydrating and smoothing your delicate eye area, the High Eye-Q Eye Gel is a must for happy, healthy eye contours.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, cannabis sativa seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-5
Anti-agingPalmitoyl tripeptide-5, Vitis vinifera seed extract + 4 moreMay help
“Providing a delightful cooling effect while reducing puffiness and smoothing fine lines, the formula is even pumped with soothing aloe while boasting all vegan and cruelty-free ingredients – making it as kind to the world around you as it is to your skin.”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-5, vitis vinifera seed extract. 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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ginkgo biloba leaf extract, Vitis vinifera seed extract + 9 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, punica granatum extract also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
