We deserve to know exactly what’s going on our beautiful faces through the actual ingredients hierarchy. This is of course especially true of any facial product, and especially near our eyes. We constructively urge the good folks at Eve Lom to add the full ingredients list here. Although the listing does some have some impressive highlights such as Retinol, Squalene, and Sodium Hyaluronate, the question remains: What else?
Detective work to the company website shows Retinol near the very bottom of the hierarchy so don’t expect much from its inclusion. It’s a lab-oriented approach. After water, Isostearyl Neopentanoate is the most prevalent ingredient. Although the company states its products are free from several items they deem to be avoided such as parabens and synthethics, one preservative very high up on the ingredients list is worth knowing about: Phenoxyethanol.
There have been reports of uncommon reactions to phenoxyethanol being quite rarely linked to eczema and strong allergic reactions. Phenoxyethanol use is often strongly discouraged by safe cosmetics advocates to be used around infants including those who are breast feeding. Studies indicate this preservative should be avoided around the youngest of children. Those who wish to learn more and make the best personal decision regarding this ingredient may consider doing an online search for “phenoxyethanol safety.”
Keep in mind that several beauty brands include phenoxyethanol. Reactions are uncommon yet most products that use it instead have it at the end of the ingredients hierarchy. Worth noting is is the Amazon 30 day free returns policy in case it’s not for you. That’s unusual in high end skincare.

EVE LOM | Time Retreat Eye Treatment – 15 ml
Even though this is super expensive, this little magic bottle works wonders. It feels great and moisturizing and helps to instantly smooth out fine lines and helps to actually repair those lines in about 30 days. It is very lightweight but works well with no scent that I could detect. It is a tiny bit sticky but that goes away in a minute after it dries down. I think this small bottle will actually last two months like that cream, so in the long run, this price isn’t that outrageous.

Lover of All Things Beauty –
Overall, this is nice, but not for me. This is a lightweight cream. It glides onto the skin easily. It absorbs quickly. It feels hydrating, but not enough for me personally. My go to for my eye area is Glossier Priming Moisturizer Rich. It’s the best I’ve found for before makeup to hydrate my eyes that all my different concealers have worked great with and the eye area is smooth and hydrated. This hydrates, but not enough for me. So, it’s not going to replace my Glossier, which is $35 for 15 ml compared to this at $65 for $15 ml! So, I’m honestly quite alright that I don’t like it as much 😂 I liked this had retinol and other good ingredients. But it’s just not hydrating enough for me. Looking at the ingredients, I did see that it contains 2 types of alcohol – denatured alcohol and alcohol (ethanol), which surprised me for something that is supposed to be moisturizing. I was happy to see it didn’t have all the essential oils that I find in other Eve Lom products I’ve tried. But, in the end, this just isn’t for me. If you’re looking for something lightweight that gives some hydration, this might be for you. But if you have dry under eyes and/or need good hydration before concealer, this probably isn’t for you. I give it 2 stars. It just isn’t anything special to me that I feel makes it stand out, especially given the price point.
There’s a few things I want to note…
This says that it is Vegan, Gluten free, Carmine free, Lanolin free, Nut and oat free (although I’m not really sure how it can be “oat free” and contain “oat kernel extract” as one of its “key ingredients”), and Palm oil free. It also says it is free of parabens, sulfates, phthalates, DEA/MEA, synthetic fragrance, synthetic colorants.
They don’t include an ingredient list here on the product page. They only list a few “key ingredients.” However, you can do a QUICK Google search of the product and will find the product on the Eve Lom website with the ingredient list in full. No “detective work” required…especially since the full ingredient list is also included on the outer product box so it’s right there for you to see when you purchase it. Do I think you should have to go to the the brand’s website to see the full ingredient list? No. I think ingredients are important, especially with skin care. So, I think a full ingredient list should be included on the product page, especially at this price point. But, do I think it’s a big deal to have to go to the brands website to find it? No.
I also don’t think having phenoxyethanol in the product is a big deal. Skin care, along with many other products, NEED to have preservatives in them so that they PRESERVE them. You don’t want to fork out your hard earned money to have it go bad in a matter of days or weeks because there’s no preservative included in it. Phenoxyethanol is pretty much the current IT-preservative. It’s safe and gentle, and it’s not a feared-by-everyone-paraben. It’s not something new: it was introduced around 1950 and today it can be used up to 1% worldwide. If you’re not allergic or breastfeeding an infant, it’s considered relatively safe.
Even though retinol is down near the end of the ingredient list, it is still effective. Brands are required to print ingredients in the order of highest to lowest concentration. However, once the list gets to ingredients that are included at a concentration of 1% or less, they don’t have to be in order.
Some people believe that if an ingredient isn’t close to the top it isn’t going to be effective, which isn’t true. There are some people that go by something called the “First Five Rule,” which claims that since the first 5 ingredients listed on a label have the highest percentages, they are what determines the true performance of a product. So, any ingredients listed after the first 5 will be at too low of a concentration to perform, so they won’t have a meaningful effect on the skin. This is not a hard and fast rule, there are exceptions. With skincare formulas it can be hard to tell how well an ingredient will perform based on where it falls on the ingredient list. The percentage of an ingredient used depends on many factors. So, it’s important not to base decisions on believing that more is always better. You shouldn’t rule out a product just because it seems to fall lower on the ingredient list. Judging a skincare product only on the first 5 ingredients isn’t very accurate in evaluating the product’s content and performance.
Usually, the first ingredient in skincare products is water or aloe (making up 70-95% of the product), and the next 4 are usually at anywhere between 3% and 5%. However, after the first 5 ingredients, you can still find MANY performance-based ingredients, along with thickeners, preservatives, fillers, and everything else that makes up a product. Long story short – An ingredient doesn’t have to be one of the first 5 to positively impact your skin. But, that doesn’t mean the First Five Rule never applies. It just means there are a lot of exceptions to this rule. Yes, skin care is VERY confusing! You can easily do an internet search to find out common ingredients that can be at a concentration less than 1% and still be effective, but some of these include retinoids, vitamin C, niacinamide, glycerin, antioxidants, etc.
In the case of vitamin A (Retinoids), the level for recommended use will vary greatly depending on whether it’s in the form of an acid, alcohol, ester, or liposome (for a time-released delivery). This means that percentages will vary greatly.
There are different forms of retinoids and the strength varies with each one. Whatever type of retinoid is used, in order for it to have an effect on our skin it needs to be converted to retinoic acid. The more steps there are in that process, the weaker the topical ingredient is, and the less results you will see. There is retinoic acid (tretinoin), which is the strongest retinoid since no conversion is necessary. This is the retinoid that is only available by prescription. The other retinoids are OTC – retinaldehyde (retinal), retinol, and retinyl esters (such as Retinyl Palmitate, Retinyl Propionate)
This has retinol in it, which is 2 steps away. Because the strength is weakened with each conversion step, percentages can be confusing. You see a 0.025% tretinoin and a 1% retinol serum, without knowing anything your more likely to go for the 1% retinol serum since it’s the higher percentage. But, really, the 0.025% tretinoin is much stronger than the 1% retinol serum! Or, you might see a 1% retinol serum and a 0.025% retinal serum and think going for the 1% retinol serum is better. But, retinal is only 1 step away so it is stronger than retinol, so the 0.025% retinal serum will be stronger. Of course, stronger can mean the chance for more side effects like redness, drying, and flaking. Each form has its benefits and downsides. Prescription strength retinol (tretinoin) is going to be a lot more irritating to the skin with more side effects like dryness, flaking, and peeling. On the other hand, retinal (which is 1 step away) will be less irritating since it isn’t as strong as tretinoin. But, it is the strongest OTC retinoid, so it will still be effective. Then, retinol will be less irritating than both the prescription (tretinoin) and retinal, but still be quite effective since it only takes 2 steps to convert it (making it the second strongest OTC retinoid).
The product page says that that retinol in this is liposome encapsulated retinol. However, the ingredient list just says “retinol.” I’m not sure it would say anything different being encapsulated vs not encapsulated. When it comes to encapsulated retinol, you’re getting the benefit of a stronger retinoid (since retinol is only 2 steps away it is on the stronger end of OTC Retinoids), but it is being released slowly over time. So, you get the potency of of retinol but it’s gentler and so there’s less side effects.
You might wonder how encapsulated retinol differs from regular retinol.
Encapsulated retinol is delivered to the skin in a “protected” capacity so that it remains stable and potent for longer. Encapsulating the retinol cuts down on its exposure to air and light. Being encapsulated does not mean they’re in little capsules that get broken open as the product is applied to the skin. Think of it as a little submarine carrying the retinol as a passenger to the parts of the skin where it will be most effective. Encapsulated retinol formulas slowly release the active ingredient into the skin instead of all at once on the skin’s surface like other retinol products. The benefit is that it is gentle but still potent. It offers a steady stream as opposed to a tidal wave of retinol. Retinol can cause redness and drying of the skin, even with people who don’t have sensitive skin, so it can be even worse for those with sensitive skin. So, encapsulated retinol is a great way to get the benefits of retinol without having to worry about such harsh side effects since the retinol is released slowly over time it will be gentle but still be just as effective because it hasn’t lost any potency.
So, if someone has skin that is more sensitive, they might only be able to handle retinyl esters, such as retinyl palmitate, which are the weakest type of retinoid, and as a result, not as effective. The weaker the retinoid, the longer it takes to work, if it works at all. Having retinol encapsulated being released slowly over time like a steady stream, it is gentler but still potent, so it can be used by people who might not be able to handle the retinol that isn’t encapsulated and would be like a tidal wave. Hopefully that makes sense! So, this is a great option for people with sensitive skin who want to use retinol without any side effects!
The other “key ingredients” it lists on the product page are…
“OAT KERNEL EXTRACT – Powerful botanical extract with instant lifting and smoothing properties, clinically proven to reduce the depth of lines and wrinkles.” It’s odd to me that they say the product is “oat free,” but yet one of its “key ingredients” is oat kernel extract. This is an extract of the kernel of oats, so not sure that would be “oat free.” If you need a product that is oat free, you will probably know more about whether or not this counts as containing oat or not.
This is a finely ground version of whole oat kernels (aka Colloidal oatmeal). It can do good things for skin, especially if it’s dry, itchy, or prone to skin rashes or eczema. Oat is loaded with compounds good for the body, such as soothing agent beta-glucan, lipids, and anti-inflammatory agents. The soothing, antioxidant and skin-protecting abilities of oat are well-established. If your skin is dry, irritated, inflamed or eczema-prone, colloidal oatmeal is something to try.
“SOY ISOFLAVONES – Intensifies firmness, lift.” This is a potent antioxidant that is proven to inhibit UV-induced redness in human skin. Soy isoflavones are also thought to be useful for situations when natural estrogen levels are low, such as during and after menopause. Low estrogen levels can cause skin thinning and collagen loss and soy isoflavones might be able to help with that.
VITAMIN C – Brightens and evens tone.” This contains a derivative of vitamin C – Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate. Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate is a stable, oil-soluble form vitamin C. Vitamin C itself is unstable and causes cosmetic companies a lot of headaches. To solve this problem, they came up with vitamin C derivatives. Keep in mind that (1) vitamin C derivatives need to be absorbed into the skin AND be converted into pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid), and it is unknown how effective this conversion is, and (2) pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has been around for a long time and there have been many studies done on it’s effectiveness. However, vitamin C derivatives don’t have that same kind of history and research backing it. So, if you’re looking for something tried and true, you’ll probably want to stick with pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid). But, if you don’t mind experimenting, then trying products with vitamin C derivatives might be worth a try to you! With that in mind, things about Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate:
It is stable and easy to formulate. It is oil-soluble, so it’s skin penetration abilities seem to be great. So great in fact that it surpasses the penetration of pure vitamin C threefold at the same concentration and it penetrates successfully into the deeper layers of the skin (that is usually important to do some anti-aging work). There is also data showing that it converts to ascorbic acid in the skin. It seems to have all 3 magic abilities of pure vitamin C – gives antioxidant protection from UVB and UVA rays, increases collagen synthesis (even more than pure vitamin C), and has skin brightening effect. So, this all sounds great, but these are only in-vitro (in the lab not in real people) results at this point. So, the bottom line is that while it’s really promising, it’s not well proven. But, it might be worth giving a try.
“FATTY ACID & AMINO ACID – Plant derived acids enhance elasticity.” I’m not sure which exact ingredients this refers to.
This has Dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, which is an amino acid. It is an oil-soluble version of hydroxyproline, which is the primary amino acid in collagen. Making it oil-soluble improves penetration into skin and lips, where it works to signal skin from the uppermost layers to repair its supportive elements, leading to fewer visible lines and wrinkles. In essence, hydroxyproline is considered a signal peptide. This ingredient works best when paired with oils or glycols since both increase its affinity for skin. Along with supporting skin’s collagen, it also offsets collagen-degrading enzymes known as matrix metalloproteinases. When these enzymes proliferate unchecked, collagen is weakened, leading to signs of sagging and thinning lips.
It has Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate. They are esters. Cetearyl olivate comes from Cetearyl alcohol and the fatty acids of olive oil. Sorbitan olivate comes from sorbitol and the fatty acids of olive oil. The two together form the well-known, natural emulsifier trade named Olivem 1000. Other than helping oil and water to blend, the main thing of Olivem 1000 is generating liquid crystal structures that are similar to the lipid structures of the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of the skin). Thanks to this, Olivem 1000 doubles as an active ingredient with significant moisturizing, barrier-repairing and soothing properties.
“SQUALANE – Oil imparts intense hydration with antioxidant benefit.” Squalane is a great moisturizer that makes skin smooth without being too heavy or greasy. It is pretty much compatible with all skin types and skin conditions! It’s great for acne prone skin! It is also a detoxifier. Regular use of squalane can boost collagen production, leading to firming skin.
“SODIUM HYALURONATE – Potent smoothing and firming agent.” Sodium hyaluronate is a form of hyaluronic acid. Helps skin hold onto water, making skin more plump and elastic.
“VITAMIN E – Powerful antioxidant defends against environmental damage.” Vitamin E is a major antioxidant in our skin. It protects skin cells from free radicals that want to destroy the lovely collagen that makes skin nice and firm. It also has photoprotection properties, meaning it can protect the skin from UV (and in case of Vit E it’s mainly UVB) rays. If you put it on your skin, it lowers the production of sunburn cells, reduces the damage caused by UVB rays and inhibits photocarcinogenesis.
Other good ingredients include
Glycerin – A great moisturizer for the skin, helps protect skin against irritation and restore skin barrier
Lecithin – This is a multi-tasking ingredient. It’s an emollient and water-binding ingredient but it’s also an emulsifier and can be used for stabilization purposes. It’s also often used to create liposomes.
There are some not-so-good ingredients
Myristyl Myristate – This is an emollient. It is waxy. It gives body and consistency to the formula and leaves a velvety feel on the skin. It has a high comedogenicity index (5 out of 5), so it might clog pores if you are prone to it. It is recommended to avoid this ingredient if you are acne-prone.
Denatured Alcohol & Alcohol (Ethanol) – Alcohol has many instant benefits: it’s a great solvent, penetration enhancer, creates cosmetically elegant, light formulas, great astringent and antimicrobial. No wonder it’s popular in toners and oily skin formulas. The downside is that it can be very drying if it’s in the first few ingredients on an ingredient list. Fortunately, this one is not. But, it still could be drying to some people.

I have tried to get used to this gel but it only makes my eyes sore and dry. What a waste of money
