The Ordinary Caffeine Solution 5% + Egcg vs. L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Laser Laser X3 Anti-aging Transforming Eye Cream
Position 1
Both products have the same component on this position.

#1Water

Origin: natural
Role: Solvent
EWG Rating [ 1 ]

Water is a great solvent. It’s neutral and doesn’t provide any strong positive or negative effects. It just helps components to mix better and to transport active components.

Position 2

#2Caffeine

Origin: natural
Role: Skin conditioning agent, Fragrance ingredient, Masking
Antioxidants
UV Protection
Anticellulite
Tones up skin
Hair growth stimulating
EWG Rating [ 1 ]
Good for dry skin
Good for dry skin

Caffeine stimulates all the processes inside skin cells. It's very effective for reducing swelling on the face (especially great for under the eyes area). The effectiveness depends on the concentration, the more component you apply the better the effect will be.

It also tones up the skin making it look younger. It's great for dry skin because it stimulates the synthesis of cholesterol, a chemical that helps to form a protective layer on the surface of the epidermis.

#2Dimethicone

Origin: chemical
Role: Skin conditioning agent, Antifoaming agent, Emollient
Silicones
EWG Rating [ 1 ]
CIR Rating [ A ]

Dimethicone is the most popular silicone. It makes the skin softer and forms a film adding smooth and silky feeling. This film not only improves how the skin feels but also works as a protective barrier. It also improves the visual appearance of your skin by filling small wrinkles. What you should really know is that this component is difficult to wash off! So make sure you did proper cleansing after using it.

Position 3

#3Maltodextrin

Origin: chemical
Role: Skin conditioning agent, Binding, Emulsion stabilizer, Film former, Hair conditioning
EWG Rating [ 1 ]
CIR Rating [ A ]

Maltodextrin is an organic sugar derived from corn, rice, or potato. It is a multipurpose ingredient. It is a skin softener, absorbent, and film-forming agent. But mostly it’s used because of its viscosity-controlling effect. It makes the product feel even. It is ruled safe by CIR for use in cosmetics.
