Review

Results you may expect from using Colbert MD Nourish Eye Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Colbert MD Nourish Eye Cream:

  • A bit of moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 1.8 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Slightly moisturizing: Colbert MD Nourish Eye Cream has a moisturizing rating of 1.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of Humectancy and Occlusivity: a low Humectancy of 2.7 out of 10 and a low Occlusivity of 0.9 out of 10.

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Colbert MD Nourish Eye Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Caffeine, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Ubiquinone, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Soy Isoflavones, and Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract. 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 some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Colbert MD Nourish Eye Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Caffeine (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.
