Does BeautyBio The Eyelighter Concentrate with Vitamin C & Plant Powered-Retinol work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using BeautyBio The Eyelighter Concentrate with Vitamin C & Plant Powered-Retinol:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 8.6 out of 10.

Perfect moisturizer for normal to dry skin

According to CreamScan analysis, BeautyBio The Eyelighter Concentrate with Vitamin C & Plant Powered-Retinol is intensely moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 8.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a very high humectancy of 9.9 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Propanediol (est. ≈6.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%), and a high occlusivity of 7.4 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈9.0%) and Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (est. ≈2.5%).

This type of moisturizer is ideal for people with normal skin who want intense hydration in a rich yet not overly thick formula. It combines a high concentration of humectants with a significant amount of occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing.

The product’s occlusive profile suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.

This product may also be a good choice for people with dry (but not very dry) skin for daily hydration, as it strikes a balance between significant moisturizing potential and a texture that is not too thick.

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

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, BeautyBio The Eyelighter Concentrate with Vitamin C & Plant Powered-Retinol has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not generate 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, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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