Skinfix Redness Recovery+ Antioxidant Eye Treatment
Works for
MoisturizingIsosorbide dicaprylate, Ceramide np + 32 moreWorks well
“- 93% felt this cream hydrated their eye area and left their eye area feeling moisturized”
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, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid.
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: caprylic/capric triglyceride, squalene.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, isosorbide dicaprylate, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, panthenol, phytosphingosine, tetrapeptide-14
Anti-agingTetrapeptide-14, Palmitoyl tripeptide-5 + 3 moreMay help
“- 86% felt this cream reduced the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-5, tetrapeptide-14. 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 · Squalene, Dunaliella salina extract + 4 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (squalene) 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.

Ingredient callouts
- Ceramides (ceramide np 0.50% - 0.75%, ceramide eop 0.45% - 0.65%, ceramide ap 0.40% - 0.60% and phytosphingosine 0.30% - 0.50%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
- Peptides (tetrapeptide-14 0.40% - 0.65% and palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.30% - 0.50%). Peptides are a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of aminoacids. Our skin produces Peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The scientists are still studying how effective the topical application of Peptides is, but it is very likely that theynare helpful. Peptides might be able to support skin barrier restoration and even have an anti-aging benefit. At the very least, they certainly help attract water to the skin and support the hydration in this way.
- Humectants (yeast extract 0.20% - 0.40%, sodium hyaluronate 0.35% - 0.60%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.25% - 0.50%, glycerin 3.10% - 3.80% and pantolactone 0.30% - 0.55%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
