This eye mask is suitable for those who suffer from dryness around eye area. It is quite moisturizing. The ingredient Lecithin is phospholipid found in egg yolks and the membranes of plant and animal cells. It is widely used in cosmetics as an emollient and water-binding agent. Another moisturizing ingredient is squalane. Squalane is oil derived from shark liver or olives. It is a natural component of skin as a good emollient that has antioxidant properties.

One of the major ingredients is soybean protein. It actively protects against free radicals. So it's a potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. It also stimulates collagent production and affects skin thickness and elasticity. Therefore this product would be effective against fine lines, but probably won't help with deep wrinkles.

This eye treatment won't help with dark circles or puffiness though.

Safety alert: Cautious
