“This hydrating eye cream is enriched with Hungarian thermal water and peptides to minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and crow's feet.”
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, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer.
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.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide np, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, panthenol
“Fountain of youth eye cream combines Hungarian thermal water and botanicals with Algae Extracts, Peptides and Caffeine to help visibly reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, and darkness.”
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.
“Helps reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, uneven skin tone, and texture.”

"Peter Thomas Roth - Hungarian Thermal Water Mineral-Rich Eye Cream" is a well-rounded moisturizing product. The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Glycerin, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer, hydrolyzed collagen, pantolactone 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). Ceramide np, cholesterol, hydrolyzed collagen, oenothera biennis oil and caprylic/capric triglyceride 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.
