Ceramides (salicyloyl phytosphingosine 0.05% - 0.10%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
Adenosine 0.05% - 0.15%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 1.20% - 1.70%, glycerin 3.30% - 5.00% and salicyloyl phytosphingosine 0.05% - 0.10%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

Kiehl's Super Multi-Corrective Eye-Opening Serum corrects the appearance of skin around the eye combating all key visible signs of ageing.

Source: Feelunique

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

adenosine 0.05% - 0.15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to help reduce dynamic wrinkles (for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead)

rhamnose 6.6% - 9.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps oil and water mix together. It also helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin

salicyloyl phytosphingosine 0.05% - 0.1%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might have anti-aging benefits but solid study data is lacking

Moisturizing

What does the product description say?

Contains 10% Botanical Extracts and Sodium Hyaluronate. Ingredients

Source: Feelunique

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: dimethicone, octyldodecanol.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: salicyloyl phytosphingosine

sodium hyaluronate 1.2% - 1.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

dimethicone 2.2% - 3.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish

glycerin 3.3% - 5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
