Anti-agingAdenosine, Acetyl hexapeptide-8 + 10 moreStrong evidence
“Like a time machine in a tube, this powerful eye cream is packed with eight natural proprietary peptides plus adenosine to effectively lift, firm and plump up fine lines and wrinkles around the eye area, along with niacinamide to erase dark circles.”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.
These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-11.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
MoisturizingSh-oligopeptide-2, Sh-polypeptide-11 + 23 moreStrong evidence
“Skin care too, is about prevention and this eye cream will hydrate and plump the eye area!”
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:
arginine, betaine.
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: arginine, grifola frondosa fruiting body extract.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester, acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, sh-oligopeptide-2, sh-polypeptide-11
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Ficus carica fruit extract, Achillea millefolium extract + 5 moreModerate evidence
This product contains antioxidants (ficus carica fruit extract) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

It accelerates wound-healing of the skin and can stimulate hair growth. There are preliminary studies that confirm that copper tripeptide can help support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles and decrease inflammation in skin.

Product summary
Judging from the ingredient list, "SWANICOCO - Fermentation Peptine Eye Care Cream" works well for improving skin hydration This moisturizer uses a good combo of humectants and emollients. These both types of ingredients are essentials for improving the skin hydration and keeping the skin barrier healthy. Acetyl hexapeptide-8, arginine, betaine, biosaccharide gum-1 and glycerin in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (grifola frondosa fruiting body extract, hydrolyzed collagen, arginine and dicaprylyl carbonate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.
Ingredient callouts
- This moistruizer also contains peptides (sh-polypeptide-11 0.20% - 0.75%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.10% - 0.50%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.15% - 0.60%, copper tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.50%, acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester 0.15% - 0.55%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.15% - 0.60%, sh-oligopeptide-2 0.15% - 0.70%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 1.80% - 2.70%, copper tripeptide-1 2.60% - 3.80% and palmitoyl tripeptide-5 3.60% - 5.40%). Peptides is a very big group of ingredients. They all consist of a different combination of amino-acids. Our skin produces peptides naturally. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, 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 peptides in skincare are helpful. They 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.
- Adenosine 0.10% - 0.35% in this moisturizer adds an anti-aging benefit. Adenosine is a compound that in involved in many biological processes inside the skin cells. According one high-quality clinical trial, topical adenosine in low concentrations can help improve "deep wrinkles" - the wrinkles that appear with age in places where our faces are most dynamic (for example, on the forehead or in the corners of the eyes).
