Results you may expect from using UpCircle Eye Cream With Cucumber, Hyaluronic Acid & Coffee:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using UpCircle Eye Cream With Cucumber, Hyaluronic Acid & Coffee:

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: UpCircle Eye Cream With Cucumber, Hyaluronic Acid & Coffee has a moisturizing rating of 7.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a high humectancy of 6.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.6 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈9.0%) and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, UpCircle Eye Cream With Cucumber, Hyaluronic Acid & Coffee has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract 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.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that UpCircle Eye Cream With Cucumber, Hyaluronic Acid & Coffee is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%) and Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract (est. ≈2.5%).

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.
