Works for
Anti-agingNiacinamide, Palmitoyl tripeptide-38 + 5 moreWorks well
“This super-peptide and hyaluronic acid packed eye concentrate provides lasting hydration for up to 48 hours* and helps to visibly firm, smooth and reduce the appearance of lines.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains niacinamide.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-38.
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.
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Isosorbide dicaprylate + 23 moreWorks well
“Hydraboost Eye Concentrate”
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, hyaluronic acid.
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, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, isosorbide dicaprylate, niacinamide, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-38, urea
Evens skin toneNot advertised by the brand · NiacinamideWorks well
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: niacinamide
Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

Product summary

Ingredient callouts
- A good concentration of Niacinamide (1.90% - 2.30%). Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
- Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.30% - 0.55%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.20% - 0.35%, palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.25% - 0.45% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.25%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, 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 theynare helpful. Peptides 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.
- Humectants (sodium pca 0.30% - 0.55%, sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.30%, saccharide isomerate 0.30% - 0.55%, hyaluronic acid 0.20% - 0.35%, glycerin 4.00% - 4.90%, urea 0.25% - 0.50%, trehalose 0.25% - 0.45% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.25%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
