Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
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!
Learn more about WaterButyrospermum Parkii Butter is a plant lipid from the fruit of the Shea Tree. It is an effective skin hydrator and emollient.
Emollients help soothe and soften your skin. It does this by creating a protective film on your skin. This barrier helps trap moisture and keeps your skin hydrated. Emollients may be effective at treating dry or itchy skin.
Shea butter is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants help fight free-radicals, or molecules that may harm the body. It is also full of fatty acids including stearic acid and linoleic acid. These acids help replenish the skin and keep skin moisturized.
While Shea Butter has an SPF rating of about 3-4, it is not a sunscreen replacement.
Shea butter may not be fungal acne safe. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have any concerns.

Another role of this ingredient is preventing a product from melting or freezing. Propylene glycol also adds antimicrobrial properties to a product, elongating product lifespan.
This ingredient is considered an organic alcohol and commonly added into both cosmetics and foods.
Those with sensitive skin or conditions may develop a rash when using this ingredient.
Learn more about Propylene GlycolDisodium EDTA plays a role in making products more stable by aiding other preservatives.
It is a chelating agent, meaning it neutralizes metal ions that may be found in a product.
Disodium EDTA is a salt of edetic acid and is found to be safe in cosmetic ingredients.
Learn more about Disodium EDTACitric Acid is an AHA derived from citrus fruits (think oranges, lemons, and limes!).
As an AHA, Citric Acid removes the top layer of skin cells from the newer layer of skin underneath. This helps skin to remove dark spots and even out skin tone.
If you spot Citric Acid near the end of an ingredient list, it's likely there as a pH adjuster rather than an active ingredient.

It's often used in formulations along with Caprylyl Glycol to preserve the shelf life of products.

La Roche-Posay Hyalu B5 Eyes 47 ingredients
One of the worst La Roche products in my opinion. This is quite thick and doesn’t absorb well at all. Seems to have a masking effect on the lines - just sits on the face and on dry days sometimes flakes off!
Gets an extra star just for being non irritating.
Kiehl's Creamy Eye Treatment with Avocado 26 ingredients
Have used this for a number of years and recently made a switch to Shisedo’s eye cream. I’ll be going back to Kiehls when I’ve finished it as it’s honestly the most nourishing eye cream out there. It doesn’t migrate into the eye and is super rich and hydrating. Just make sure your fingers are dry when applying otherwise it just slips around and doesn’t sink into the skin.
very nice eye cream, helps with my under-eye darkness and sensitive skin. a different eye cream i tried gave me millia so i'm hoping this one doesn't do the same thing. i think it's worth it to spend money on this, than to spend it on low-end products. i use this on top of my hyaluronic acid serum from l'oreal.
