Formulation Deep Dive

Peter Thomas Roth’s Instant FIRMx Collagen Infusion Tightening Eye Patches are engineered as a high-performance hydrogel delivery system designed to provide immediate structural firming and multi-depth hydration to the delicate periocular region. The carrier system utilizes a sophisticated humectant and texturizing base of Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, and Chondrus Crispus Powder (Irish Moss), which creates a cohesive, moisture-retentive film that facilitates the osmotic diffusion of water-soluble actives. The formulation’s efficacy is driven by a dense peptide and collagen complex, featuring Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline), and multiple forms of Collagen to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of expression lines. This is further supported by Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) and Adenosine to optimize cellular energy and barrier function. The system is stabilized via a hydrocolloid network of Xanthan Gum and Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Gum, while preservation is managed through a multi-modal approach including Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin, and 1,2-Hexanediol.
