SWANICOCO Peptine Biome Eye Cream

Based on the ingredient list, "SWANICOCO - Peptine Biome Eye Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Humectants in this product (acetyl hexapeptide-8, acetyl octapeptide-3, acetyl tetrapeptide-5, hexapeptide-9 and fructooligosaccharides) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, palmitoyl tripeptide-1, tripeptide-1, limnanthes alba seed oil and vinyl dimethicone in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.

Ingredient callouts

• We particularly like that there is a good concentration of Niacinamide (1.70% - 2.10%) in this moisturizer. Niacinamide is a well-studied multi-tasking active. It is a great ingredient to have in a moisturizer. It is stable, and can work well in almost any hydrating formulation. There is solid evidence that Niacinamide can help support skin barrier, regulate oil production and reduce acne and clogged pores. It also helps to fight photodamage and help improve the skin tone, reducing pigmentation marks.
• This moisturizer also contains Peptides (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.30%, palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 0.10% - 0.25%, palmitoyl tripeptide-5 0.15% - 0.25%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.15% - 0.25%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.20% - 0.40%, dipeptide diaminobutyroyl benzylamide diacetate 0.20% - 0.40%, acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester 0.30% - 0.50%, tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.55%, nonapeptide-1 0.25% - 0.50%, hexapeptide-11 0.25% - 0.50%, hexapeptide-9 0.25% - 0.45%, dipeptide-2 0.25% - 0.50%, copper tripeptide-1 0.30% - 0.55%, acetyl tetrapeptide-2 0.30% - 0.55%, acetyl tetrapeptide-5 0.30% - 0.55%, hexapeptide-2 0.30% - 0.55%, dipeptide-4 0.30% - 0.55%, acetyl tetrapeptide-9 0.30% - 0.55%, tripeptide-3 0.30% - 0.50%, acetyl tetrapeptide-3 0.30% - 0.55%, acetyl octapeptide-3 0.30% - 0.50% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 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 they are 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.
• Adenosine 0.25% - 0.50%. It 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 somewhat 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).
