Review

Results you may expect from using Donginbi Red Ginseng Power Repair Intensive Eye Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Donginbi Red Ginseng Power Repair Intensive Eye Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.2 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Donginbi Red Ginseng Power Repair Intensive Eye Cream has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Donginbi Red Ginseng Power Repair Intensive Eye Cream has a moisturizing rating of 7.2 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 Glycerin (est. ≈9.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.4 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of 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, Donginbi Red Ginseng Power Repair Intensive Eye 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, Donginbi Red Ginseng Power Repair Intensive Eye Cream also contains Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Imperata Cylindrica Root Extract provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does 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.
