WIMJ summary

This product contains adenosine. 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.

WIMJ summary

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, isocetyl stearate.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
sodium hyaluronate	HIGH
dimethicone	HIGH

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
water Plain old water	40% - 60%
isocetyl stearate An emollient that helps soften the skin	5.3% - 8%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	3.5% - 5.3%
octyldodecanol An emollient that helps to soften the skin and create a pleasant product texture and stabilize the formulation	2.7% - 4%
propylene glycol Helps oil and water mix together and can enhance the penetration of other ingredients into the skin. It can be irritating	2% - 3%
pentylene glycol Used to preserve products, dissolve other ingredients and create a nice product texture	1.7% - 2.6%
dimethicone 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	1.5% - 2.2%
acrylamide/sodium acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer Helps water and oil mix together and create gel-like textures	1.1% - 1.7%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	1% - 1.6%
dimethicone/vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer Used to stabilize product formulations and create a nice product texture	0.8% - 1.2%
caffeine Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes	0.45% - 1.1%
isohexadecane Improves the texture of the product and helps soften the skin. Helps oil and water mix together and can be used as a cleansing agent	0.5% - 1.1%
sodium hyaluronate One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin	0.35% - 0.8%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.2% - 0.75%
retinyl linoleate An ester of a retinoid and linoleic acid. Three steps removed from the bioactive form of retinoid, retinoic acid. Once converted to retinoic acid in skin, it can help reduce wrinkles, stimulate collagen production, even out skin tone and reduce blemishes. The concentrations used in cosmetic products are often not high enough to have a positive effect in skin.	0.15% - 0.65%
adenosine Might help improve cell turnover and reduce inflammation in skin. One study shows that the ingredients might be able to stimulate collagen production in skin	0.1% - 0.5%
ammonium polyacryloyldimethyl taurate Used to create a thicker product consistency	0.1% - 0.4%
caprylyl glycol Helps preserve products and creates a nice product texture	0.1% - 0.35%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.05% - 0.15%
polysorbate 80 Helps water and oil mix together	0.05% - 0.2%
phenoxyethanol A preservative. It helps prevent bacterial growth in cosmetic products	0.05% - 0.2%
