What the product description says

“Total Under Eye Cream for Wrinkles | Moisturizing Caffeine Eye Cream Anti Aging Serum and Avocado Eye Wrinkle Cream with Hyaluronic Acid Vitamin C and E | Hydrating Eye Cream for Men and Women”

From product name

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, glycine.

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: dimethiconol, isopropyl myristate.

Isopropyl myristateKey active· EmollientEffect: HighAn emollient that helps soften the skin. Could be comedogenic~5.3–6.5%
