Results you may expect from using Lancome Absolue Revitalizing Eye Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Lancome Absolue Revitalizing Eye Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.2 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Lancome Absolue Revitalizing 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 Butylene Glycol (est. ≈4.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.4 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈3.0%) and Jojoba Esters (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Lancome Absolue Revitalizing Eye Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Adenosine, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Adenosine provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. 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, 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.
