Review

Results you may expect from using Derma E Ultra Hydrating Alkaline Water Eye Gel:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Derma E Ultra Hydrating Alkaline Water Eye Gel:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Derma E Ultra Hydrating Alkaline Water Eye Gel has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈7.5%).Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Derma E Ultra Hydrating Alkaline Water Eye Gel has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 and Copper PCA, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. 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 generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Derma E Ultra Hydrating Alkaline Water Eye Gel is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈1.5%), Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈1.4%), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈1.3%), 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.
