Results you may expect from using Dermadoctor Wrinkle Revenge Rescue & Protect Eye Balm:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Dermadoctor Wrinkle Revenge Rescue & Protect Eye Balm:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.8 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Dermadoctor Wrinkle Revenge Rescue & Protect Eye Balm has a moisturizing rating of 3.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a low humectancy of 2.7 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 5.0 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈9.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Dermadoctor Wrinkle Revenge Rescue & Protect Eye Balm has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Caffeine, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Fucus Vesiculosus Extract, Ubiquinone, 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 generate 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 Dermadoctor Wrinkle Revenge Rescue & Protect Eye Balm is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Hesperidin Methyl Chalcone (est. ≈0.3%), Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Caffeine (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.

Chondrus Crispus Extract
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
An extract from the species of red marine algae called Irish moss or carrageen moss. It is edible and widely used to produce carrageenan, a polysaccharide with humectant moisturizing and soothing properties.

Lecithin
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
A humectant, emollient, and emulsifier best suited for water-in-oil emulsions. Lecithin can come from sunflowers, soy, and eggs. The downside to lecithin is that it causes an extra burden on the formula’s preservative because it is nutritious.

Function
Origin
Description is coming soon
Butylene Glycol
Est. %0.3
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.
Saccharomyces Lysate Extract
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
A mixture of yeast cell fragments with humectant moisturizing properties. It contains many beneficial compounds, including a wound healing polysaccharide called beta-glucan, peptides, and various minerals and vitamins.
Squalane
Est. %0.3

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.
Ubiquinone
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Also known as Coenzyme Q10, this bright orange antioxidant supports the skin's energy metabolism. It also offers some anti-pigment action. Dietary supplementation of Ubiquinone improves the appearance of wrinkles.
Retinyl Palmitate

Cyclomethicone
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
A blend of emollient silicones that leaves a smooth and non-greasy after-feel. Unlike other types of oils, it does not leave any residue on the skin, which is part of what makes it so popular.
Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
A synthetic ingredient that is used to thicken water and alcohol. It results in a more lightweight formula and is commonly found in gel products.

Function
Origin
A synthetic chelator that helps to maintain the look and smell of a product by 'locking up' troublesome metal ions.
Polysorbate 20
Est. %0.3
Function

PPG-2 Myristyl Ether Propionate
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
A synthetically prepared emollient that leaves the skin smooth and soft without a greasy or sticky after-feel.
Aminomethyl Propanol
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
A synthetic ingredient that helps to adjust the pH of a product to make it less acidic.

Methylparaben
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
A preservative that keeps a product unspoiled. There has been a lot of controversy surrounding parabens, although the concentrations found in cosmetic formulations are generally considered to be safe.
Ethylparaben
