Mesoestetic Age Element Firming Eye Contour
Works for
Anti-agingFerulic acid, Acetyl tetrapeptide-2 + 2 moreMay help
“Formulated with biopolymers to tighten the skin, lift the upper eyelid, and smooth expression lines, mesoestetic Age Element Firming Eye Contour is also enriched with extract of silk tree to lessen the look of under-eye circles.”
This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-2, carnosine, ferulic acid. 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.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Carnosine, Ferulic acid + 4 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (carnosine, ferulic acid) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
MoisturizingSide benefit · Acetyl tetrapeptide-2, Glycerin + 16 moreWorks well
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:
carnosine, 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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-2
Evens skin toneSide benefit · Ferulic acid, Albizia julibrissin bark extractMay help
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: albizia julibrissin bark extract, ferulic acid.

This product could be helpful for: Evens skin tone and Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.20% - 0.40%). 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 (polyglycerin-3 0.20% - 0.40%, carnosine 0.30% - 0.55% and glycerin 5.50% - 6.70%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
