Results you may expect from using REN Clean Skincare Keep Young and Beautiful Firm and Lift Eye Cream:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.6 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 2.1 out of 10 and a high Occlusivity of 7.2 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Triheptanoin (est. ≈4.0%), Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%) and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, REN Clean Skincare Keep Young and Beautiful Firm and Lift Eye Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline 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.
