“Renew and revitalise with the NUXE Nuxellence® Eye Area Contour; a unique treatment that utilises light-reflecting particles, resurfacing powders and 'soft focus' silicone spheres to restore luminous, youthful-looking eyes.Infused with Hyaluronic Acid and Passionflower, the lightweight, quick-absorbing formula delivers long-lasting moisture and hydration, whilst helping to minimise the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow's feet for a smoother, more refined texture.The anti-aging treatment gives a subtle apricot tint that adjusts to suit individual skin tone and dries to a powdery, matte finish.”
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.
