Judging from the ingredient list, "Peter Thomas Roth - Peptide 21 Wrinkle Resist Eye Cream" works well for improving skin hydration The formulation is based on a combination of good humectants and emollients. Both are needed to increase the skin hydration level. Acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, dextran, glycerin and mannitol 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). Emollients in this formulation (palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, tripeptide-1, caprylic/capric triglyceride and dimethicone) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
There are some common irritants in this product, including ingredients that do not have benefits for the skin. We assess the overall irritancy of this moisturizer to be medium. For a detailed overview of all potential irritants: click here

Peptide 21 Wrinkle Resist Eye Cream
Source: From product name
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains palmitoyl hexapeptide-12.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-1, acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-11, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, hexapeptide-11, palmitoyl hexapeptide-19, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, tetradecyl aminobutyroylvalylaminobutyric urea trifluoroacetate, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

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:
dextran, glycerin.
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: acetyl hexapeptide-1, acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-11, acetyl tetrapeptide-2, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, hexapeptide-11, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12, palmitoyl hexapeptide-19, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, trifluoroacetyl tripeptide-2, tripeptide-1, tripeptide-10 citrulline
