• Hydrogenated Polyisobutene : Analyzed in ClarinsMen’s anti-wrinkle cream .
• Phenyl Trimethicone : A derivative of silica that is used as an antifoam agent, and a conditioning agent for skin and hair. It reduces the tendency of formulas to foam when shaken, and increases the body, flexibility and shine of the hair, by improving the texture of hair that has been damaged by chemical treatments. It also slows the loss of water from the skin by forming a barrier on the skin’s surface. Although silicone compounds can cause allergic reactions, Phenyl Trimethicone is considered safe.
• Polyglyceryl-3 Beeswax : The fatty acid ester of beeswax and polyglycerin-3 that functions as a surfactant and emulsifier.
• Polybutene : Polybutene is an oligomeric oil, sometimes derived from petroleum, that is used in its hydrogenated form as a binder, depilatory agent, thickener, and lubricant. It is also used for its adhesive properties. There is little detailed information on the use of Polybutene in cosmetics, although it is widely used and is considered a versatile and effective ingredient. It is a low risk ingredient, although there are indications of skin, eye and lung irritation in connection with its use.

Analysis of Anti-Age Eye Cream Clinique For Men

It is a list in which you can get lost of how extensive it is. And if we start from the basis that the first 5-6 ingredients are the most abundant (and therefore, the ones that will have the most effect), we are left with only shea butter and a couple of emollients that will keep the area hydrated . .

Lower is where the active ingredients begin to be seen, which should be in higher positions for them to really take effect.

Among them there are antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, painkillers and even vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and squalane. A shame they are so low.

The downside is that we also found quite a few irritating ingredients (skin and eyes), silicones, PEGs and potentially toxic. And celiacs beware, several of the ingredients have gluten.

Alternative

A much better option is the Nezeni Cosmetics contour , with fewer ingredients and better active ingredients. And of course, without the undesirable ingredients that I no longer want to put on my skin.
