Anti-agingLaminaria digitata extractNot delivered
“The luxurious moisturising feeling will revitalises and illuminate your eye area. It helps to reduce puffiness and bags, making the peepers pretty and youthful - perfect for under or over make-up.”
This product does not contain ingredients that are able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles or help with skin elasticity, but it can improve the look of the skin temporarily through moisturization. Well-moisturized skin might also be able to repair the sun damage better.
This ingredient ficus carica fruit extract might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin and help it fight off some of the sun damage.
MoisturizingSide benefit the brand mentions · Glycerin, Hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans + 3 moreWorks
“Cooling, refreshing, and hydrating eye gel for a brighter, smoother, and firmer eye area.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans.
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).
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Ficus carica fruit extract, Rosa damascena flower water + 2 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (ficus carica fruit extract) 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.
