Product summary

Judging from the ingredient list, "Origins - GinZing Upgrades Eye Cream - Shade Warm" works well for improving skin hydration To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Origins - GinZing Upgrades Eye Cream - Shade Warm ticks this box. Glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, trehalose, hypnea musciformis extract and molasses extract 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). Phytosphingosine, dimethicone, cetyl ricinoleate, olea europaea fruit oil and caprylyl glycol 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.
