Does Peace Out 6% Vitamin C Brightening Eye Treatment Glow Stick work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Peace Out 6% Vitamin C Brightening Eye Treatment Glow Stick:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.8 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Peace Out 6% Vitamin C Brightening Eye Treatment Glow Stick has a moisturizing rating of 6.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 3.7 out of 10 and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Squalane (est. ≈25.0%) and Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Wax (est. ≈11.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Peace Out 6% Vitamin C Brightening Eye Treatment Glow Stick has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Caffeine, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8. 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 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 Peace Out 6% Vitamin C Brightening Eye Treatment Glow Stick is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (est. ≈6.0%).

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.

Squalane
Est. %25
Function

Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
