Review

Results you may expect from using Bliss Ex-Glow-Sion Eye Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Bliss Ex-Glow-Sion Eye Cream:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 8.5 out of 10.
  • Some anti-wrinkle efficacy: Bliss Ex-Glow-Sion Eye Cream has an anti-wrinkle rating of 2.0 out of 10 so you may expect some, although limited, effect on wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: Bliss Ex-Glow-Sion Eye Cream has a moisturizing rating of 8.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a very high humectancy of 9.8 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a high occlusivity of 7.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈9.0%) and Dimethicone (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Bliss Ex-Glow-Sion Eye Cream has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 2.0 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈1.3%), 
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, Bliss Ex-Glow-Sion Eye Cream also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Caffeine, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5. 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 Bliss Ex-Glow-Sion Eye Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil (est. ≈2.0%).

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.
