Science: Olay Reviews by NvWah_Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging Eye Anti-Aging Roller

Roller is a fresh idea for eye care, definitely convenient to use. It is an Ok product for the price.

I worry about the third ingredient, isopropyl isostearate. Isopropyl isostearate acts as a lubricant on the skin's surface giving it a soft and smooth appearance. It may also act as a binder. But overuse will cause the thickening of the skin and it's highly prone to breakouts. Skin around eyes is thin which makes it even more sensitive to this ingredient.

On the good side, there is palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 which is synthetic peptide that may stimulate collagen synthesis and help fill in wrinkles. The silicone content also instantly smoothes out fine lines. Caffeine in skin-care products is claimed to reduce cellulite or puffy eyes. But the claim lacks solid evidence..

The abundant vitamin E and vitamin C (Sodium ascorbyl phosphate) fight the sun damage and prevent aging.

Safety alert: Cautious
review based on scientific information of the product ingredients.

1st ingredient		is water.
2nd ingredient		glycerin transports water from the environment and from the lower layers of skin (dermis) to surface skin (epidermis). It softens the skin. Glycerin is a substance naturally present in skin which helps maintain the epidermis and prevent dryness or scaling.
3rd ingredient		isopropyl isostearate acts as a lubricant on the skin's surface giving it a soft and smooth appearance. It may also act as a binder. But overuse will cause the thickening of the skin and it's highly prone to breakouts.
4th ingredient		caprylic/capric triglyceride is the mixed triester of glycerin and caprylic and capric acids.
