This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with mature skin: fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for mature skin; other eye cares fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for normal skin due to the humectant action of glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which provide excellent hydration for the delicate eye area.
- While beneficial for general skincare, these ingredients are mostly supportive and do not directly address your primary goal of reducing wrinkles and fine lines.
- The product is safe for your normal skin, as it contains soothing ingredients like Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract and Euphrasia Officinalis Extract, and lacks harsh or prohibited substances.

- Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/))
- Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction. ([Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34623507/))
- Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days. ([BMC Oral Health, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31311529/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))

- Topical application of an antioxidant mix containing 15% ascorbic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid, and 1% tocopherol prevented PM and UV-induced skin barrier perturbation, lipid peroxidation, inflammatory markers, MMP9 activation, and Type I collagen loss in 15 healthy females compared to untreated exposed skin. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38590207/))

## Why other eye cares fit mature skin better

- Bakuchiol functions as an anti-aging compound through retinol-like regulation of gene expression, producing significant improvements in lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, elasticity, firmness, and photo-damage after 12 weeks of twice-a-day facial application without usual retinol therapy-associated undesirable effects. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24471735/))
- Topical bakuchiol 0.5% applied twice daily compared with retinol 0.5% applied daily significantly decreased wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation with no statistical difference between the compounds in 44 patients over 12 weeks, while retinol users reported more facial skin scaling and stinging. ([The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/))
- Topical post-laser application of human adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cell media combined with niacinamide significantly improved wrinkle index, melanin index, patient satisfaction, and investigator esthetic improvement scores compared to vehicle cream in patients with aging skin. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33103316/))

## Questions and answers

### How well does Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Eye Cream work for mature skin?

Mario Badescu Hyaluronic Eye Cream works moderately well for mature skin, as it hydrates the delicate eye area with glycerin and sodium hyaluronate while soothing the skin with aloe and vitamin E. However, it does not directly target fine lines and wrinkles. An eye care product for mature skin needs to be exceptionally safe, target wrinkles and fine lines with high-quality ingredients, and include peptides, omega-rich ingredients, and antioxidants to support skin elasticity.

### Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for mature skin?

Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin make this cream a good fit by providing hydration for the delicate eye area, though mature skin often needs effective peptides, omega-rich ingredients, and antioxidants to target wrinkles and fine lines.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Dermatologic Therapy, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36200921/)

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for mature skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps mature skin by deeply boosting moisture, improving elasticity, and smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Regular use keeps the skin looking plump and soft while supporting overall firmness and hydration.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/), [Skin Research and Technology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38591218/)

### What does Glycerin do for mature skin?

Glycerin helps keep mature skin feeling soft and smooth by drawing moisture into the outer layer and locking it in. This daily hydration boost supports the skin barrier, keeping dry areas comfortable and protected against irritation.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

This eye cream works best after cleansing and toning your face, and before putting on your moisturizer. Because mature skin needs to target fine lines, this type of cream also needs firming ingredients and dedicated wrinkle-smoothing actives to be a great fit.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Dermatologic Therapy, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36200921/)

### Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this cream alongside retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help soothe and hydrate the delicate eye area. This product is unlikely to cause irritation, though mature skin targeting fine lines and wrinkles needs dedicated anti-aging ingredients like peptides or retinol itself.

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this eye cream daily to hydrate the delicate skin around your eyes, though mature skin also needs targeted ingredients like peptides or retinol to directly smooth out wrinkles and fine lines.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?

This eye cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on mature skin, as it is safe and free of harsh ingredients. However, because it provides only moderate moisture, mature skin looking to smooth fine lines and wrinkles needs rich creams packed with firming peptides and nourishing botanical oils.

### Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
