“The Frankincense Eye & Lip Serum rejuvenates the skin with a moisturising blend of frankincense, baobab oil and marine algae that leaves the skin firm and nourished.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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: helianthus annuus seed oil, ricinus communis seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl tripeptide-5
Anti-agingNot advertised by the brand · Palmitoyl tripeptide-5, Tocopherol + 1 moreModerate evidence
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-5. This ingredient 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.

Product summary
"Neal's Yard Remedies - Eye & Lip Care Rejuvenating Frankincense Eye & Lip Serum" is effective for: Moisturizing
This lip sunscreen could be helpful for: Anti-aging, but its actives are not the most effective or are not well-studied.
Ingredient callouts
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.15% - 0.70%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
