Somme Eye Cream with MDT5™

An eye cream formulated with MDT5™ (a proprietary delivery system), sodium hyaluronate, peptides, caffeine, and botanical extracts. Designed for the eye area. Suitable for all skin types.

What's In It:

• MDT5™ (Proprietary Delivery System): Somme's trademarked ingredient technology. Based on the ingredient list, this appears to include retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), niacinamide, peptides, and other active ingredients combined with a delivery system.

• Sodium Hyaluronate: A form of hyaluronic acid—a moisture-binding ingredient.

• Peptides: Includes palmitoyl tripeptide-5 and palmitoyl hexapeptide-12—small protein fragments used in skincare.

• Caffeine: Often used in eye products. Caffeine is a stimulant compound.

• Retinyl Palmitate: A form of vitamin A (retinoid).

• Glycolic Acid: An alpha hydroxy acid (AHA).

• Niacinamide: Vitamin B3.

• Ceramide NG: A lipid that's naturally found in skin.

• Jojoba Esters: Derived from jojoba oil, provides moisturizing benefits.

• Mango Seed Butter: A plant butter that adds richness to the cream.

• Botanical Extracts: Multiple plant extracts including orange, lavender, lime, sandalwood, spirulina, melon, raspberry, and violet.

What It Does:

This is an eye cream designed to moisturize the skin around the eyes while delivering active ingredients like peptides, caffeine, and retinyl palmitate.

How to Use It:

1. Apply a small amount (rice grain size) to the eye area
2. Use your ring finger (lightest touch)
3. Gently pat around the orbital bone (the bone surrounding your eye)
4. Don't apply too close to your lash line
5. Use morning and/or evening
6. Note: This product has an airless pump that needs to be primed several times before the cream will dispense

Best For:

• All skin types (according to brand) • Those looking for an eye cream with peptides and caffeine • People interested in the MDT5™ delivery system

What to Expect:

The cream should have a smooth, velvety texture. It should absorb within a minute or two. Your eye area should feel moisturized after application.

Important Notes:

• Contains Retinyl Palmitate: A form of vitamin A. Those who are pregnant or nursing should consult their healthcare provider before using products with vitamin A derivatives.

• Contains Glycolic Acid: An AHA exfoliant. While the amount in an eye cream is typically small, be aware if you have very sensitive skin around your eyes.

• For external use only: Avoid getting product directly in eyes.

• Patch test recommended: The eye area is delicate. If you have very sensitive skin, test on your inner arm first.

• Airless pump: Requires priming (multiple pumps) before product dispenses. This is normal for airless pump packaging.

• Brand claims: The marketing makes very strong claims about this product being superior to all others. As with all skincare products, results vary significantly from person to person.

About Eye Creams:

Eye creams are moisturizers specifically formulated for the delicate eye area. They're typically:

• Richer than face moisturizers
• Formulated to be gentle (the eye area is sensitive)
• Often contain ingredients like caffeine or peptides

However, eye creams are not mandatory—some people use their regular face moisturizer around their eyes with no issues. Eye creams are a personal preference.
