StackedSkincare Restorative Eye Stack
Works for
Anti-agingAcetyl tetrapeptide-11, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 5 moreMay help
“Firms and improves the appearance of fine lines in three weeks”
This product contains acetyl tetrapeptide-11, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-38. 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.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“Pair it with our Microneedling Tool to gently micro-exfoliate the skin and boost the wrinkle-refining benefits of the serum.”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
MoisturizingSide benefit · Acetyl tetrapeptide-11, Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 + 9 moreWorks well
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, 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: palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, pentylene glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl tetrapeptide-11, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, acetyl tetrapeptide-9, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-38
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Haematococcus pluvialis extract, Chrysin + 4 moreMay help
This product contains antioxidants (chrysin, haematococcus pluvialis extract) 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 · ChrysinMay help
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: chrysin.

Ingredient callouts
- Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-38 0.15% - 0.65%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 1.10% - 1.60%, acetyl tetrapeptide-9 0.50% - 1.20%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.35% - 0.80% and acetyl tetrapeptide-11 1.30% - 1.90%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
- Humectants (hyaluronic acid 1.70% - 2.50%, glycerin 3.40% - 5.10% and acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.35% - 0.80%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
