Does Dermalogica Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Dermalogica Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.8 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Dermalogica Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

Perfect moisturizer for normal to dry skin with a relatively lightweight texture

According to CreamScan analysis, Dermalogica Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 7.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Panthenol (est. ≈9.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 5.5 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Squalane (est. ≈6.0%).

This type of moisturizer is ideal for people with normal skin. It combines a high concentration of humectants with a significant amount of occlusive ingredients to deliver effective dual-action moisturizing for normal skin.

This product may also be a good choice for people with normal to dry skin for daily hydration, as it balances significant moisturizing potential with a relatively lightweight texture.

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

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Dermalogica Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Ubiquinone, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9, Beta-Glucan, Caffeine, and Lactobacillus Ferment. 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, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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

Rich in skin-protecting antioxidants

We estimate that Dermalogica Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Tocopheryl Acetate (est. ≈0.3%), Hydroxyacetophenone (est. ≈0.3%), Sodium Hyaluronate (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.

Skin soothing and calming potential

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Dermalogica Phyto Nature Lifting Eye Cream is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Panthenol (est. ≈9.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
