Product summary

"Neal's Yard Remedies - Eye & Lip Care Frankincense Intense Lift Eye Cream" has a good moisturizing formula. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Neal's Yard Remedies - Eye & Lip Care Frankincense Intense Lift Eye Cream ticks this box. Humectants in this product (cylindrotheca fusiformis extract, dextran, glycerin, hyaluronic acid and sodium hyaluronate) 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 (caprooyl tetrapeptide-3, glycine soja oil, theobroma cacao seed butter, vitis vinifera seed oil and butyrospermum parkii butter) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

This moisturizer also contains Peptides (caprooyl tetrapeptide-3 0.20% - 0.35%, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2 0.15% - 0.30% and palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.15% - 0.30%). 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 they are 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.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: vitamin e and agran oil

Irritation risk

This moisturizer contains a bunch of common irritants, including ingredients that do not provide any known benefit for the skin. It might not be the best choice if your skin is sensitive.

Moisturizing

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: cylindrotheca fusiformis extract, dextran.

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: butyrospermum parkii butter, helianthus annuus seed oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: caprooyl tetrapeptide-3, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2

vitis vinifera seed oil 0.6% - 0.9%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A great emollient that can also have anti-oxidant properties

glycerin 4.5% - 5.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

glycine soja oil 1.4% - 1.7%

Irritation risk: Comedogenicity: Medium

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

A good emollient that helps soften the skin and helps repair its barrier function. It can clog pores if used in high concentrations.
