Review

Results you may expect from using Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.8 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base has a moisturizing rating of 5.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 6.1 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈4.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 5.4 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈9.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈0.3%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Ascorbyl Glucoside, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Caffeine, Folic Acid, and Retinyl Palmitate. 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 Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Eye Base is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Rhodochrosite Extract (est. ≈1.3%), Ascorbyl Glucoside (est. ≈1.0%), Epilobium Angustifolium Flower/Leaf/Stem 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.

Ingredients explained

Water
Est. %55
Function
Origin
The most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.
Dimethicone
Est. %9
Function
Origin
The most common silicone in skincare. It forms a silky, smooth film on the skin’s surface and can help to prevent water loss. It also aids in wound healing and can treat and soften scars. Dimethicone is considered to be very safe for use.
Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2
Est. %6
Function
Origin
An emollient ester that is used as a non-animal substitute for lanolin. Similar to lanolin, it melts at body temperature, making it ideal for use in body butters, lip balms, and ointments.
Butylene Glycol
Est. %4
Function
Origin
A clear, colorless liquid humectant that draws moisture to the skin. The humectancy of butylene glycol, owed to its two hydroxyl groups, is quite considerable, although not as powerful as glycerin, which contains three hydroxyl groups.
PPG-2 Myristyl Ether Propionate
