Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, AHC Hydrating Essential Real Eye Cream For Face has a moderate anti-wrinkle rating of 4.0 out of 10.

It contains 2 active ingredients with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy:

  • Retinol (est. ≈0.1%),
     the most effective non-prescription ingredient with well-proven efficacy to reduce wrinkles.
  • Niacinamide (est. ≈1.0%),
     one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
Among others, AHC Hydrating Essential Real Eye Cream For Face also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Centella Asiatica Extract, Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract, Adenosine, Folic Acid, Gluconolactone, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, and some others. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do not contribute to the anti-wrinkle rating.
 
Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that AHC Hydrating Essential Real Eye Cream For Face is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Niacinamide (est. ≈1.0%), Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil (est. ≈0.3%), Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, AHC Hydrating Essential Real Eye Cream For Face is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Niacinamide (est. ≈1.0%), Panthenol (est. ≈0.3%), Calendula Officinalis Flower Oil (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
