Osmotics Cosmeceuticals Osmotics Under Eye Rejuvenator
Works for
Anti-agingAcetyl tetrapeptide-5, Palmitoyl oligopeptide + 4 moreMay help
“Benefits Visibly reduce dark under eye circles. Help eliminate puffy under eye bags. Firm and smooth crepey lids.”
This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-5, dipeptide-2, palmitoyl oligopeptide. 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.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Acetyl tetrapeptide-5, Palmitoyl oligopeptide + 9 moreWorks well
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-5, dipeptide-2, palmitoyl oligopeptide
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Chrysin, Hesperidin methyl chalcone + 4 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (chrysin) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.
Evens skin toneSide benefit · Chrysin, N-hydroxysuccinimideMay help
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: chrysin.

Product summary
Based on the ingredient list, "Osmotics Cosmeceuticals - Osmotics Under Eye Rejuvenator" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Osmotics Cosmeceuticals - Osmotics Under Eye Rejuvenator ticks this box. Acetyl tetrapeptide-5, glycerin 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). Cetyl alcohol, prunus amygdalus dulcis oil and stearic acid 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
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (dipeptide-2 0.45% - 0.65%, palmitoyl oligopeptide 1.00% - 1.20% and acetyl tetrapeptide-5 7.80% - 9.60%). 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.
