Key Benefits of Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream:
 

🔵🔵🔵 Rich Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 6.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 3.0 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 9.0 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈9.0%) and Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, can deliver a substantial level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry skin. The occlusive profile of Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

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

📌 Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream

 
CreamScan identified a few things to consider before adding Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Best for Dry Skin - May Be Too Thick for Other Skin Types

With high occlusivity, this product is optimal for dry skin but may be too thick for combination and especially oily skin. Even on normal skin, it can feel too rich depending on the quantity applied, the environment, and individual preferences.

If you have oily, combination, or normal skin and are considering purchasing this product for the first time, it might be a good idea to try a sample before buying.

⚠️ Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream contains a relatively low level of humectants.

People with dry skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

⚠️ Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

If one of your main reasons for choosing Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, it currently has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.

While this does not categorically rule out the possibility that Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract may reduce wrinkles, its efficacy is not supported by convincing, vehicle-controlled, double-blind clinical studies - at least none that were available to the CreamScan team at the time of publication.

Therefore, this ingredient does 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.

Pros & Cons of Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream

 
Here’s an overview of the pros and cons of Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your skincare routine:
 

🟩 Pros:

Rich moisturizer with the right level of occlusivity to moisturize dry skin
Rich texture well-suited for dry skin
 

⭕ Cons: 

⚠️ May feel too rich and thick on skin types other than dry
⚠️ Only if used as a standalone moisturizer - needs to be paired with extra humectants for optimal moisturizing efficacy
⚠️ Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy
   

Summary: Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream

 
Based on the ingredient list analysis, CreamScan AI suggests that Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream
, as a moisturizer, provides a substantial level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry skin, delivered in a rich, thick texture.
 
That said, there are some things about Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream worth noting.
 
With its high occlusivity, Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream is ideal for dry skin but may feel too thick on other skin types. If you have oily, combination, or normal skin, it’s a good idea to try a sample before purchasing.
 
If you use this product as your only moisturizer in a routine, please note that it contains only a small amount of humectants. Regardless of your skin type, adding extra humectants can enhance optimal moisturizing efficacy. Therefore, it may be worth pairing Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream with a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.
 
If one of your main reasons for considering Edible Beauty Gold Rush Eye Cream is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, its anti-wrinkle efficacy is questionable. None of the ingredients in this product provide substantial evidence of their anti-wrinkle efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.
