“Lightweight and swiftly absorbed, this featherweight formula boasts the brand’s biofermented Exopolyusaccharide – isolated from brown kelp off the coast of northern France – which works to encourage production of line-smoothing, plumping and moisture-retaining hyaluronic acid to counteract crêpey-ness.”
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, saccharide isomerate.
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, limnanthes alba seed oil.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-5
Anti-agingAcetyl hexapeptide-8, Acetyl tetrapeptide-5 + 1 moreModerate evidence
“A cocktail of peptides then works to inhibit the onset of wrinkles while strengthening tissue to minimise under-eye shadows.”
This product contains acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-5. 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.

Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "One Ocean Beauty - Eye Revival Marine Cream" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. One Ocean Beauty - Eye Revival Marine Cream ticks this box. Acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, glycerin, saccharide isomerate and sodium hyaluronate in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Limnanthes alba seed oil, dimethicone, cetyl alcohol, diisopropyl sebacate and isododecane in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
Ingredient callouts
- This moistruizer also contains peptides (acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.50% - 1.20% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.40% - 0.95%). Peptides is a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of amino-acids. Our skin produces peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, 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 peptides in skincare are helpful. They 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.
