What the product description says
โ€œThis cult-favorite brightener softens dark circles, fine lines, and fatigue, acting as both a line filler and illuminator.โ€
Source: Bluemercury

This product contains dipeptide-2, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. 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.

Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7Key activeEffect: MediumA type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles~0.4โ€“0.9%
Dipeptide-2Key activeEffect: MediumA type of peptide. Peptides are excellent moisturizers and might be able support collagen production reducing fine lines and wrinkles~0.35โ€“0.85%

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called โ€œhumectantsโ€:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they โ€œpull inโ€ the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.

This product also contains ingredients called โ€œocclusivesโ€. 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: dimethicone, cyclopentasiloxane.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: dipeptide-2, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7
