Works for
MoisturizingPalmitoyl pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl oligopeptide + 8 moreWorks well
“87% experienced more hydrated skin.”
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, butylene glycol.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4
Anti-agingPalmitoyl pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl oligopeptide + 3 moreMay help
“Our best-selling creamy eye treatment helps reduce puffiness, dark circles & crow's feet.”
This product contains palmitoyl oligopeptide, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4. There is some human evidence that these ingredients help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Chrysin, Butyrospermum parkii butter + 3 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (chrysin) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is some human evidence for this effect in skin, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best antioxidants.
Evens skin toneSide benefit · Chrysin, N-hydroxysuccinimide + 1 moreMay help
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: chrysin.
