Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Skin Conditioning, Solvent

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

Humectant, Skin Conditioning

Betaine is a common humectant (a substance that promotes retention of moisture). It's known to be gentle on the skin and can help balance hydration.

This ingredient is best for improving hydration and soothing irritated skin. Studies also show it helps even out skin tone.

Fun fact: Betaine is naturally created in the skin and body. The kind found within cosmetic products can be either plant-derived or synthetic.

Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

Skin Conditioning

Caffeine is most associated with coffee, tea, and cacao. In skincare, it helps with calming inflammation and is rich in antioxidants.

While caffeine is used to treat cellulite and and dark circles, further studies are needed to prove this. It has been believed to help with these skin conditions due to its ability to dilate blood vessels and increase blood flow.

Some studies are looking into caffeine's ability to protect against UV rays.

Its a good product. It actually gives a noticeable impression of less puffy eyes (first time use I was chocked) so I use this in the morning. It hasn’t triggered eczema, acne or other issues I have. I will continue using this until I need more anti-aging fighting products. I have also tried other eye creams with caffeine but they have not given the same effect as this. This product is a 91% match Show more

I tried this as a sample and liked it, so picked up a full-size version from Stylevana (though it's available on Amazon). I quite like it, and it's kept my under eyes hydrated while traveling abroad on long haul flights and dry climates.

I haven't experienced any stinging or sensitivity from it, and it has not caused Show more

I have such sensitive skin around my eyes, due to surgeries and long-term medication, that Vitamin C burns and causes blepharitis. I was hoping this would be the brightening solution, but it unfortunately has aggravated my skin conditions. It works to brighten and firm, so if your skin isn’t highly sensitive, I would recommend. For me, though, I’ll have to give the remaining product away. Such a Show more
