This retinol eye cream contains two additional magic ingridents: squalane and ceramides.
We all know retinol creams can help prevent and soften wrinkles, smooth out uneven skin texture and improve skin complexion. Ceramides, meanwhile, are naturally occurring lipids that help retain skin moisture and give it a hydrated, smooth appearance. But what the heck is squalane?
Well, as board-certified dermatologist Harold Lancer previously explained to HuffPost, squalene, an oil found in plants, animals and humans, is a popular cosmetic ingredient due to its humectant properties, which allow the skin to protect itself from dehydration. “It is also a natural fat that is produced in the body in order to protect skin barrier function, and reduce water loss from evaporation,” Lancer said. (And yes, some studies back its effectiveness.)
Reviewers say it helps with droopy eyelids, reduce under-eye bags, lines and wrinkles and gives users a brighter look.
The combination of retinol, squalane and ceramides has proved successful for several happy reviewers who tire of tired eyes and under-eye puffiness. Several say that through consistent use, they’ve seen brighter eyes and less visible wrinkles and fine lines.
