Review

Results you may expect from using Filorga OPTIM-EYES Eye Contour:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Filorga OPTIM-EYES Eye Contour:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.4 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Filorga OPTIM-EYES Eye Contour has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.5 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Filorga OPTIM-EYES Eye Contour has a moisturizing rating of 7.4 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. ≈8.8%) and PEG-8 (est. ≈2.4%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.7 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈5.9%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Filorga OPTIM-EYES Eye Contour has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.5 out of 10.

It contains 2 active ingredients with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy:
    • Niacinamide (est. ≈0.3%),
       one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
    • Ascorbic Acid (est. ≈0.3%),
       or Vitamin C, a popular anti-wrinkle ingredient, yet with average efficacy confirmed by only one study.
Among others, Filorga OPTIM-EYES Eye Contour also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Retinyl Acetate, and Folic Acid. 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 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.
