“This powerful active restores scalp microflora for long lasting moisture and relief of dryness, itching, dandruff and irritation. . Matrix Yl Morphomics.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, caprylyl glycol.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: biotinoyl tripeptide-1, myristoyl pentapeptide-17, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate, panthenol

“In addition to promoting home-grown, healthy and envy worth lashes, Peptalash II nourishes the eye area to smooth skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and crow’s feet.”
This product contains biotinoyl tripeptide-1, myristoyl pentapeptide-17, n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate. 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.

Product summary
Based on the ingredients included, "Indeed Labs - Eye Care Peptalash II" works well for moisturizing the skin. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Humectants in this product (panthenol, glycerin and caprylyl glycol) 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 (caprylyl glycol and pentylene glycol) 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 (n-prolyl palmitoyl tripeptide-56 acetate 1.40% - 2.10%, biotinoyl tripeptide-1 1.70% - 2.50% and myristoyl pentapeptide-17 2.00% - 3.10%). 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.
