Review

Results you may expect from using Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Synchronized Complex II:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Synchronized Complex II:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Synchronized Complex II contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Synchronized Complex II has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a moderate humectancy of 5.6 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 4.4 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈4.0%) and Dimethicone (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Synchronized Complex II has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Lactobacillus Ferment, Caffeine, Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate, and Tripeptide-32. 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 Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Synchronized Complex II is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Algae Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Betula Alba Bark Extract (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

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Estee Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum Synchronized Complex II is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Bifida Ferment Lysate (est. ≈6.0%).

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.
