Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSHyaluronic Acid (Dual-Weight)Proven
This formula uses two forms of HA — Sodium Hyaluronate (high molecular weight for surface hydration) and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (low molecular weight for deeper penetration). Together they plump and hydrate at multiple skin levels.
- Clinical: Hyaluronic acid can retain up to 1,000x its weight in water, significantly improving skin hydration and reducing fine lines.
- Research: Studies show topical HA improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkle depth with regular use over 8+ weeks.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5Promising
A cell-communicating peptide that mimics the body's natural mechanism to produce collagen. It helps signal skin cells to boost collagen synthesis, targeting fine lines and loss of firmness around the eyes.
- Mechanism: Activates TGF-β (Transforming Growth Factor beta), a key growth factor that stimulates collagen production in fibroblasts.
- Studies: In vitro research shows Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 can increase collagen production and improve skin firmness with consistent use.
Blue Daisy Extract (Globularia Alypum)Promising
The star of Cetaphil's exclusive HydroSensitiv Complex. This Mediterranean botanical has potent soothing properties and helps protect the skin from environmental stressors while deepening dynamic hydration.
- Function: Rich in antioxidant compounds, Blue Daisy extract helps calm inflammation and improve skin resilience in sensitive skin types.
- Cetaphil claim: Part of the HydroSensitiv Complex that boosts overall skin water content and seals moisture within the skin barrier.
Panthenol (Vitamin B5)Proven
A well-researched humectant that deeply penetrates skin layers. Once absorbed, it converts to pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), providing intense moisturization and supporting wound healing and barrier repair.
- Research: Panthenol at 1-5% concentration improves skin hydration, reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and enhances skin barrier function.
- Benefit: Acts as both a humectant and an anti-inflammatory agent, making it ideal for the sensitive under-eye area.
Tocopherol (Vitamin E)Proven
A potent lipid-soluble antioxidant that protects skin cell membranes from free radical damage caused by UV exposure and pollution. Also helps condition and soften the delicate eye area skin.
- Research: Vitamin E works synergistically with other antioxidants and helps reduce oxidative stress that contributes to premature aging around the eyes.
BisabololProven
A naturally occurring compound (derived from chamomile) known for its powerful soothing and anti-irritation properties. Helps calm redness and sensitivity around the eye area.
- Properties: Demonstrated anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and skin-healing abilities in dermatological studies.
Glycerin Top 3Proven
A skin-identical humectant ranked as the #3 ingredient. Glycerin is one of the most effective and well-studied moisturizing ingredients, drawing water into the skin and maintaining hydration levels. Comedogenic rating: 0.
- Data: Glycerin improves skin barrier function and keeps skin lipids in a healthy liquid crystal state, protecting against irritation.

Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEUse every morning and night on cleansed skin. Apply before heavier creams and moisturizers. In the AM, always follow with sunscreen.
How to use
HOW TO USECleanse
Start with clean skin. Use a gentle cleanser on the face and eye area, then pat dry.
Dot Around Eyes
Squeeze a small amount of serum and dot the product around the orbital bone — under the eyes, at the outer corners, and along the brow bone.
Massage with Applicator
Use the built-in soft silicone applicator tip to gently massage the product into skin using light tapping or circular motions. This promotes absorption and helps reduce puffiness.
Let Absorb & Continue Routine
Allow the serum to fully absorb (about 30 seconds), then continue with the rest of your skincare routine — face serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the AM.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. This eye serum does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreen filters — the main ingredients typically flagged during pregnancy. All ingredients are considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, always confirm with your OB-GYN or dermatologist before adding new products to your routine.
Use with caution. The formula contains Sorbitan Oleate (an ester), Jojoba Esters, Polyglyceryl-6 Distearate, Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax, and Cetyl Alcohol, which are potential triggers for Malassezia folliculitis. If you are actively managing fungal acne around the eye area, consider a simpler formula without these ingredients.
Yes. This eye serum contains no active exfoliants or retinoids, so it pairs well with other active ingredients. Apply the eye serum first to hydrate the delicate eye area, then layer your retinol or vitamin C product around the eye (avoiding the eyelids unless directed). The serum's hydrating and soothing ingredients can actually help buffer potential irritation from actives.
This eye serum is ideal for dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin types. It was specifically designed and clinically tested on sensitive skin. It also works well for normal and combination skin. Oily skin types may find the finish slightly dewy — if so, try using it only at night. It is non-comedogenic and suitable for acne-prone skin.
Most users notice an immediate hydration boost from the first application. Reduced dryness and flaking typically improve within the first week. For visible improvement in dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines, expect 2–4 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Long-term skin quality improvements from the HydroSensitiv Complex develop over 2–3 months.
Apply after cleansing and toner, but before face serums, moisturizer, and sunscreen. As a general rule, eye products go on before heavier facial products. Use it as Step 3 in your routine: Cleanser → Toner → Eye Serum (this product) → Face Serum → Moisturizer → Sunscreen (AM). Use morning and night for best results.
No, this eye serum is non-comedogenic with an overall comedogenic rating of 1/5. Cetaphil specifically states it won't clog pores or irritate skin. Cetyl Alcohol (rated 2/2 for comedogenicity) is present but in a well-balanced formulation that minimizes pore-clogging risk. It is clinically tested and safe for acne-prone skin.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. The tube format with a small opening helps minimize contamination and air exposure compared to jar packaging. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight for maximum shelf life. The 0.5 oz tube typically lasts 2–3 months with regular twice-daily use.
Verdict: Cetaphil Deep Hydration Refreshing Eye Serum is an excellent budget-friendly option for anyone seeking reliable hydration around the delicate eye area — especially if you have dry or sensitive skin. The dual hyaluronic acid formula delivers noticeable, lasting moisture, while the soothing Blue Daisy complex and Vitamin B5 calm and protect sensitive skin. It excels at reducing dryness, puffiness, and fine lines caused by dehydration. However, it's not a heavy-duty anti-aging or brightening treatment, so those with deep wrinkles or significant pigmentation-related dark circles may want to supplement with targeted actives. At under $15 from most retailers, the value is hard to beat for a dermatologist-tested, ophthalmologist-approved eye serum with a thoughtful ingredient list.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

Pro Tip Alert!
A product that contains good or bad ingredients for your skin type doesn't always flat out make the entire product good or bad for your skin. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine your skins reaction.
One of the best ways to use this section is to troubleshoot products you've had bad experiences with in the past. Check if it contains any of the marked ingredients to point out suspect ingredients to avoid in the future!

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
