The efficacy score is driven by a strong humectant base (glycerin, panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, butylene glycol) plus film-forming gel agents and light emollients that can temporarily plump and smooth the under-eye area; the algae and plankton extracts add marketing and some supportive antioxidant framing, but they are not the main reason this works. Because this is a rinse-off eye mask and the formula contains no high-evidence long-term treatment active, the score stays moderate rather than high.
