  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.0 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: OSEA Eye Firming Cream has a moisturizing rating of 7.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a high humectancy of 6.0 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.0 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈9.0%) and Squalane (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, OSEA Eye Firming Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, Saccharomyces/Copper Ferment, and Saccharomyces/Zinc Ferment. 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.
