Overview
Offered by Hydroderm Beverly Hills, the well-known online cosmetic company, Hydroderm Triple Effects Eye Serum is meant to address three problems within one formula. This product is intended to reduce dark circles, crow’s feet and eye puffiness all at one. While this seems like a tall order, the team at EyeWrinkleReviews.com always keeps an open mind when reviewing the products for this web site. Therefore, we decided to hold off our judgment on Hydroderm’s eye care system until we reviewed the product and its ingredients.
Featured Ingredients
Hydroderm Triple Effects Eye Serum contains three main ingredients, each of which is intended to address one of the main problems of eye-area skin. Acetyl Hexapeptide 3 is added to help reduce wrinkles and crow’s feet near the eye. According to our research, this nutrient does seem to have an effect similar to Botox®, even though it is milder because it is not a toxin-based compound. While we are aware of some research that supports this effect for Acetyl Hexapeptide 3, Hydroderm does not include this information on its web site, so visitors are expected to believe it sight unseen.
Triple Effects Eye Serum also contains Hyaluronic Acid, which is well known in the cosmeceutical field as a powerful moisturizing compound. Hyaluronic Acid holds several thousand times its own weight in water, so it makes a wonderful ingredient for cosmetic formulas, since it helps promote softer skin and nourishes essential components of healthy skin, such as collagen and elastin. Unfortunately, Hydroderm claims that Hyaluronic Acid also reduces the appearance of dark circles. We could not find any research supporting this claim, and are worried about this technical inaccuracy.
Chamomile is also included in the formula to calm the skin and reduce puffiness. While Chamomile is a known botanical ingredient that has a soothing effect on skin (decreasing irritation or swelling), we do not feel this is the best ingredient for diminishing undereye puffiness. It is also important to include ingredients (such as Actiflow) to enhance blood flow in the eye area, which is a more direct and more powerful way of reducing puffiness.
Web Site Description
The Hydroderm web site for Tripe Effects Eye Serum seems basic. It only contains one page of information, which as we noted is not entirely accurate. No scientific research is listed, so consumers cannot be sure of the percentage effects of the formula. Only one testimonial is posted. A free trial is offered, so at least most consumers will not risk too much money by trying out the formula.
Positives
- Hyaluronic acid is known to promote moisturization of skin
- Offers a free trial, which keeps financial risk low
Negatives
- Inaccurate claims - Hyaluronic Acid is not known to reduce dark circles
- Very little information provided - no clinical study statistics
- May contain inferior ingredients, especially for under eye puffiness
Conclusion
Even though we applaud Hydroderm for attempting to create a single formula to address three of the main problems affecting the eye area, we also feel that Triple Effects Eye Serum fall short. We are concerned about some of the inaccurate information included on its web site, and feel that the ingredients could have been more powerful. It is good, however, that consumers get the chance to try the product for free.
