Cucumbers are about 95% water. The other 5% has some pretty nice things for skin like vitamin C, caffeic acid, and flavonoids that all have antioxidant activity.

A 2011 study found that cucumber fruit juice can fight free radicals and help protect two proteins that keep skin firm and plump (hyaluronic acid and elastin). This is why it's sometimes considered a potential anti-wrinkle ingredient.

Since this ingredient is usually used at low concentrations (up to 3%), it acts more as a soothing and skin conditioning ingredient than a powerhouse active.
