“Eye Contour Lifting Cream”
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 crosspolymer.
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: bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, butyrospermum parkii butter.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: hexapeptide-48 hcl, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7
Evens skin tone3 ingredients credited for this claimModerate support
“Key Technology. . Caffeine liposomes firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. . Brown algae extract increases hyaluronic acid production by 24% and strengthens the skin’s barrier. . Glucosaminoglycans reduce dark circles, firm the skin, and prevent collagen-depleting inflammation. . Palmitol Oligopeptide reduces the appearance of dark circles, inflammation, and redness.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: chrysin, glycyrrhiza glabra root extract.
Anti-aging6 ingredients credited for this claimModerate support
“Skin around the eyes looks and feels firmer and younger with visibly diminished dark circles, puffiness and redness.”
This product contains hexapeptide-48 hcl, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. 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-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · 5 ingredients credited for this claimModerate support
This product contains antioxidants (chrysin) 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.

Product summary
"Lancer Skincare - Eye Contour Lifting Cream" has a good moisturizing formula. 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 (glycerin, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, sodium pca, butylene glycol 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 (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, glycosaminoglycans, bis-diglyceryl polyacyladipate-2, butyrospermum parkii butter and dimethicone) 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
- This moistruizer also contains peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.15% - 0.55%, palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.15% - 0.70% and hexapeptide-48 hcl 0.10% - 0.40%). Peptides is a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of amino-acids. Our skin produces peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of peptides is, but it is very likely that peptides in skincare are helpful. They might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
