Works for
Anti-agingPhloretin, Ferulic acid + 1 moreMay help
“This refreshing vitamin C eye serum targets visible signs of aging such as crow’s feet and fine lines, and improves the appearance of puffiness, fatigue, and under-eye circles.”
This product contains ferulic acid, phloretin. 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.
MoisturizingUndecane, Dimethicone + 3 moreWorks
“Provides advanced protection against environmental aggressors causing dry skin”
This product can help soften the skin and reduce its moisture loss with emollients and occlusives: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.
Keep in mind that this product does not contain effective ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. This is why an additional product with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid can be helpful (apply it before this product for the best results).
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Phloretin, Ferulic acid + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (ferulic acid, phloretin) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
