What the gurus are saying
Built on squalane and marine algae with no retinol or other actives, this eye cream is praised for moisturizing, plumping and feeling gentle, and a small amount goes a long way. It can be layered over a retinol or vitamin C serum, and it sits nicely under sunscreen and makeup. The sticking point was price, since at $56 it was felt to do little beyond moisturizing for fine lines and wrinkles.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.
Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Peptides are short protein fragments meant to signal repair. The evidence for them is thinner than for retinoids or vitamin C, and it varies a lot by the specific peptide, so the category is more promising than proven.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
