Review

Results you may expect from using de_CURE Superfood Eye Repair Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using de_CURE Superfood Eye Repair Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.5 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: de_CURE Superfood Eye Repair Cream 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?

Highly moisturizing: de_CURE Superfood Eye Repair Cream has a moisturizing rating of 7.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a high humectancy of 7.2 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈2.5%) and Glycerin (est. ≈2.0%), and a high occlusivity of 7.8 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Squalane (est. ≈9.0%) and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, de_CURE Superfood Eye Repair Cream 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, de_CURE Superfood Eye Repair Cream also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, and Ubiquinone. 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 de_CURE Superfood Eye Repair Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈2.5%).

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. %65
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.
Squalane
Est. %9
Function
Origin
An occlusive moisturizing and emollient compound that forms part of the skin’s sebum. The main source of squalane had always been shark liver. Now, however, it is manufactured synthetically or derived from plant oils, such as olive and peanut oil.
