EXUVIANCE AGE REVERSE Eye Contour, 15 g. I have SUPER dry skin along with a lot of sensitivities so I patch test everything on my wrist before applying anything to my face. I had no reactions and moved on to using this on my face. A friend recommended trying this cream for my under-eye area and I am so glad I took her advice. One pump from the vacuum-sealed container was enough to cover my under-eye area along with a bit for the below my brows. Within minutes, I noticed a tightening effect and the area underneath my eyes was firmer and tighter. Yes, the effect is temporary but the ingredients of this cream are all something that works together to make that effect permanent. Even though this contains fragrance, I couldn't really detect any scent. This cream is in a silicone base which works well with my skin and I have used straight dimethicone as a primer and didn't have any issues with pilling when used under my foundation. Silicones are great for most skin types. This also has a bit of Retinyl Palmitate which converts to Retinol and Gluconolactone which is a polyhydroxy acid (PHA), that is often referred to as next-generation AHA. That helps the cells exfoliate and regenerate. This is full of really nice ingredients including Panax Ginseng, Peptides, and shea butter, and I LOVE shea butter. That might be a non-starter if you have oily skin though. Please don't let fear-mongers point out one ingredient that a certain site says is dangerous -Phenoxyethanol- It’s pretty much the current IT preservative. It’s safe and gentle, but even more importantly, it’s not a feared-by-everyone-mostly-without-scientific-reason paraben. You really don't want skincare that doesn't use some sort of preservative since that would cause major issues and damage to your skin from bacteria. Bacteria is bad. Phenoxyethanol is good and very safe. You would have to use this ingredient as really high concentrations to be an issue. This also contains Chlorphenesin which is a little helper ingredient that works as a preservative. It works against bacteria and some species of fungi and yeast. It's often combined with IT-preservative, phenoxyethanol. #alcohol-free Key Ingredients Antioxidant: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Caffeine, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Sodium Bisulfite Cell-communicating ingredient: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Retinyl Palmitate Exfoliant: Gluconolactone Skin brightening: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate Skin-identical ingredient: Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate Soothing: Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Oil ALL INGREDIENTS BY FUNCTION Antimicrobial/antibacterial: C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Chlorphenesin Buffering: Maltobionic Acid, Ammonium Hydroxide Chelating: Gluconolactone, Disodium EDTA Colorant: Yellow 5 (Ci 19140) Emollient: Caprylyl Methicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Batyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Isocetyl Stearate, Octyldodecyl Myristate, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Caprylyl Glycol Emulsifying: Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Ceteth-20, Steareth-20, Polysorbate 20 Moisturizer/humectant: Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol Perfuming: Caffeine Preservative: Sodium Bisulfite, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol Solvent: Aqua/Water/Eau, Cyclopentasiloxane, Butylene Glycol Surfactant/cleansing: Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, PEG-100 Stearate, Ceteth-20, Ceteth-20, Steareth-20, PEG-75 Stearate, Polysorbate 20 Viscosity controlling: Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, Cetearyl Alcohol, Nylon-12, Cetyl Alcohol, Butylene Glycol, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Xanthan Gum, Carbomer Ingredient List Aqua/Water/Eau, Caprylyl Methicone, Glycerin, Cyclopentasiloxane, Gluconolactone, Maltobionic Acid, Batyl Alcohol, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter, C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Isocetyl Stearate, Octyldodecyl Myristate, Nylon-12, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Cetyl Alcohol, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100 Stearate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Retinyl Palmitate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Caffeine, Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Oil, Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Seed Oil, Panax Ginseng Root Extract, Butylene Glycol, Ammonium Hydroxide, Ceteth-20, Steareth-20, PEG-75 Stearate, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, Sodium Bisulfite, Caprylyl Glycol, Polysorbate 20, Carbomer, Chlorphenesin, Phenoxyethanol, Yellow 5 (CI 19140).
