“Lifting and replenishing eye cream formulated with 60% Maple Tree Sap that provides lightweight hydration and skin revitalization around delicate eye area”
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:
betaine, 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: dimethicone, squalane.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: oligopeptide-1, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, panthenol
Anti-agingPalmitoyl oligopeptide, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 3 moreWorks well
“MAY COOP Raw Eye Contour is a lifting eye cream that improves saggy eyes and wrinkles.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: oligopeptide-1, palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7.
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.

Product summary
"MAY COOP - Raw Eye Contour" is effective for: Moisturizing and Anti-aging
Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.30% - 0.75%, palmitoyl oligopeptide 0.30% - 0.75% and oligopeptide-1 0.10% - 0.45%). 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.
- Adenosine 0.20% - 0.70%. It is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical Adenosine in low concentrations can somewhat help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
- Humectants (sodium hyaluronate 1.00% - 1.50%, glycerin 4.20% - 6.30% and betaine 0.55% - 1.25%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
