What it is
Dermalogica describes Awaken Peptide Depuffing Eye Gel as a firming, hydrating gel for the eye area. The brand recommends it for all skin types and concerns including dryness, fine lines, loss of firmness and puffiness.
Key ingredients
- Caffeine and tetrapeptides: Dermalogica says this blend, alongside rosemary leaf extract, minimizes the appearance of puffiness and fine lines.
- Succinic acid blend: The brand says it supports a more radiant appearance.
- Voandzeia subterranea seed extract: Dermalogica says this leaves skin smoother and more luminous.
- Lactic acid: The brand identifies it as an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps brighten and smooth skin.
How to use
Apply under the eye and along the orbital bone each morning. Keep the product out of the eyes.
Who should be careful
The formula contains lactic acid, which Dermalogica identifies as an AHA. Keep the gel out of the eyes as directed; people with a known sensitivity to AHAs may wish to review the ingredients with a healthcare professional. This is general product information, not medical advice.
What the brand claims
Dermalogica says users may look more well-rested in 10 minutes. The brand cites an independent study of 30 subjects after one application, with measurements at 10 minutes, and notes that results may vary. This is a brand-reported result, not our finding.
