ANSWER: Silicon based polymer
 
Scientists have developed a new material which can temporarily tighten skin, smoothen wrinkles and treat skin conditions like eczema. This second skin can reshape eye bags under the lower eyelids and enhance skin hydration.
  • It also provides long lasting UV protection
  • This invisible later can provide a barrier, cosmetic improvements and deliver drugs to areas which are being treated.
  • The researchers created a library of more than 100 possible polymers all of which contained a chemical structure called siloxane- a chain of alternating atoms of oxygen and silicon.
