Product Summary
Based on the ingredient list, "Mavala - Eye Care Double Cream Eyes Contour" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Mavala - Eye Care Double Cream Eyes Contour ticks this box. Humectants in this product (sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed silk, butylene glycol and peg-40) 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 (paraffinum liquidum, lanolin oil, dimethicone, cetyl alcohol and glyceryl stearate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
Mavala Eye Care Double Cream Eyes Contour 15ml is a moisturizing and revitalizing care with formula doubly enriched (Hyaluronic Acid and Shea Butter).
Source: Cocoon Center
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:
sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed silk.
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: dimethicone, lanolin oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: paraffinum liquidum
A silicone that helps to reduce water loss from the surface of the skin. Can temporarily "fill in" lines and wrinkles, absorb oil, and create a nice product finish
Sebum of wool-bearing animals (most commonly sheep). Helps soften the upper layer of the skin and reduce the skin water loss. In rare cases could be an allergen. Not suitable for vegans
Mineral oil. One of the most effective and well studied occlusive and emollient moisturizing ingredients. Helps reduce moisture loss in skin and repair skin barrier function
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Attracts water into the upper layer of the skin

A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
