Does First Aid Beauty Hydrating Eye Cream with Hyaluronic Acid work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using First Aid Beauty Hydrating Eye Cream with Hyaluronic Acid:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 8.9 out of 10.

Perfect moisturizer for dry skin

According to CreamScan analysis, First Aid Beauty Hydrating Eye Cream with Hyaluronic Acid is intensely moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 8.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a very high humectancy of 8.9 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Propylene Glycol Butyl Ether (est. ≈4.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈2.5%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.8 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Ethylhexyl Olivate (est. ≈9.0%) and Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

This type of moisturizer is ideal for people with dry skin who want intense hydration. It combines a high concentration of humectants and occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing specifically for dry skin.

The occlusive profile of First Aid Beauty Hydrating Eye Cream with Hyaluronic Acid 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.

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, First Aid Beauty Hydrating Eye Cream with Hyaluronic Acid has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Caffeine and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, two ingredients often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. 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.
