Based on the ingredient list, "LACURA - Moisture Boost Eye Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. LACURA - Moisture Boost Eye Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (salicyloyl phytosphingosine, glycerin and butylene 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). Cyclopentasiloxane and isopropyl palmitate in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (salicyloyl phytosphingosine 0.20% - 0.75%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.

Moisture Boost Eye Cream

Source: From product name

This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, butylene 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: salicyloyl phytosphingosine

salicyloyl phytosphingosine 0.2% - 0.75%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

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

glycerin 3.6% - 5.4%

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

dimethicone crosspolymer 2.8% - 4.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Used to create a thicker product texture. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and might be able to prevent moisture loss from its surface

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (camellia sinensis leaf extract, sodium ascorbyl phosphate) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

camellia sinensis leaf extract 0.85% - 1.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

Can contain potent anti-oxidant compounds (abbreviated ECG, GCG, EGC, and EGCG) that might help protect the skin from free radicals. Can help calm down inflammation and has some anti-bacterial properties. Unfortunately, these antioxidants are unstable and lose their effectiveness very quickly in products. The concentration of the antioxidant compounds in the extract also tends to be low to be effective in topical formulation

sodium ascorbyl phosphate 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A stable derivative of vitamin C. It is oil-soluble which means it is more likely to penetrate the skin compared to the pure form of vitamin C (which is water-soluble), but it is less bio-available and is way less effective in stimulating collagen and reducing wrinkles compared to the pure form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid) and its other derivatives (for example, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate). At the same time, this vitamin C derivative has been shown in studies to be effective in reducing acne, blemishes and clogged pores. It is less irritating then the pure form of vitamin C

albizia julibrissin bark extract 1.3% - 1.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A plant extract that might help to neutralize free radicals in skin. Is claimed to help reduce hyperpigmentation but evidence is missing

Anti-aging

What does the product description say?

It also acts as an intense moisturiser for fine dry lines.

Source: N/A

This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.These ingredients - camellia sinensis leaf extract, salicyloyl phytosphingosine, sodium ascorbyl phosphate - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.

This ingredient camellia sinensis leaf extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.

camellia sinensis leaf extract 0.85% - 1.3%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

sodium ascorbyl phosphate 0.35% - 0.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

salicyloyl phytosphingosine 0.2% - 0.75%

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
