“Harnessing the powers of Lichen, Moss, Fern and Alchemilla, the lightweight, quick-absorbing cream delivers long-lasting moisture and hydration, whilst natural Aescin brightens and illuminates the delicate eye contour without greasy residue.”
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:
anhydroxylitol, glycerin.
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: simmondsia chinensis seed oil, cetearyl alcohol.
Anti-agingDipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, Tocopherol + 2 moreLimited evidence
“Rejuvenate tired eyes with MÁDARA SMART ANTIOXIDANTS Anti-Fatigue Rescue Eye Cream ; a skin-refining, anti-ageing formula designed to target fine lines, dark circles and puffiness.”
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.This ingredient - dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline - could be helpful for preventing or repairing signs of aging in theory, but there is no evidence that it actually works.
