How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment has a moisturizing rating of 7.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a high humectancy of 6.4 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈3.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈2.5%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.4 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate (est. ≈9.0%) and Dimethicone (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Shiseido LiftDynamic Eye Treatment has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Caffeine and Retinyl Acetate, two ingredients 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, 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.
