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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

glycerin 5.5% - 6.7%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant

panthenol 1.2% - 1.4%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function

c13-14 isoparaffin 1.8% - 2.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Helps soften the upper layer of the skin, dissolve other ingredients and create a thicker product consistency

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (rubus idaeus seed oil) 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.

rubus idaeus seed oil 0.8% - 1.15%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant oil that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin

caffeine 0.35% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

Might be helpful in neutralizing free radicals. Can have a dehydration effect that might somewhat decrease the look of puffy eyes

tocopheryl acetate 1.5% - 1.8%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: LOW

A more stable but less bio-available form of vitamin E compared to Tocopherol. Might help moisturize and protect the skin from free radicals, but mostly used in low concentrations to stabilize other ingredients.
