Review

Results you may expect from using The Organic Pharmacy Lifting Eye Gel:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using The Organic Pharmacy Lifting Eye Gel:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Soothing: The Organic Pharmacy Lifting Eye Gel contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: The Organic Pharmacy Lifting Eye Gel has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Chondrus Crispus Extract (est. ≈7.5%), Biosaccharide Gum-1 (est. ≈5.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, The Organic Pharmacy Lifting Eye Gel is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Biosaccharide Gum-1 (est. ≈5.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
