MoisturizingCyclotetrapeptide-24 aminocyclohexane carboxylate, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 18 moreWorks well
“Fortified with 2% Vitamin C, a brightening and antioxidant ingredient, the rich eye cream melts into skin, releasing its nourishing and illuminating benefits to leave the delicate eye contour looking visibly brighter and more even toned.”
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, sodium hyaluronate.
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, dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: cyclotetrapeptide-24 aminocyclohexane carboxylate, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7
Anti-agingCyclotetrapeptide-24 aminocyclohexane carboxylate, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 6 moreMay help
“With each application, it helps to minimize the appearance of dark circles and wrinkles while also acting to firm the skin.”
This product contains cyclotetrapeptide-24 aminocyclohexane carboxylate, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. These ingredients 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.
Evens skin tone3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid, Chrysin + 1 moreMay help
“Fortified with 2% Vitamin C, a brightening and antioxidant ingredient, the rich eye cream melts into skin, releasing its nourishing and illuminating benefits to leave the delicate eye contour looking visibly brighter and more even toned.”
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid, chrysin.
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Tocopherol, 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid + 5 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (tocopherol) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
The following ingredients - 3-o-ethyl ascorbic acid, chrysin also can have an antioxidant effect, but there is less evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin.
