Benefits
Promise: Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Super concentrated and richly moisturising, Dermonectin Eye Cream is ideal for overnight use.
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, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer.
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: beeswax, cocos nucifera oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: oligopeptide-5, paraffinum liquidum
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| zea mays oil | HIGH |  |  |
| oligopeptide-5 | HIGH | | |
| paraffinum liquidum | HIGH | | |

Other benefit: Anti-aging
This product contains oligopeptide-5, retinyl palmitate. 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.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| oligopeptide-5 | MEDIUM | | |
| retinyl palmitate | MEDIUM | | |
| tocopherol | LOW |  | |
Other benefit: Evens skin tone
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: retinyl palmitate.
| Ingredient | Effectiveness | Concentration | Irritancy |
|---|---|---|---|
| retinyl palmitate | MEDIUM | | |

However, in many cosmetic formulations, it is used in a concentration that is too low to have the full effect | |
