“A cooling, hydrating botanical that calms puffiness and soothes irritated skin.”
What it does
Cucumber extract contains cucurbitacins, flavonoids, and a high water content that make it gently soothing and hydrating. It has mild astringent and anti-inflammatory properties, which is why cucumber slices have long been used to reduce under-eye puffiness. Topically it is well-tolerated and calming for sensitive skin.
