How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: 111SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Retinol Oil has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely occlusive. It has zero Humectancy (we didn't find any humectant ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum Occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈22.0%), Hydrogenated Palm Oil (est. ≈11.0%) and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, 111SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Retinol Oil has a maximum anti-wrinkle rating of 10.0 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Retinol (est. ≈1.0%),
 the most effective non-prescription ingredient with well-proven efficacy to reduce wrinkles.
 
Among others, 111SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Retinol Oil also contains Retinyl Palmitate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Retinyl Palmitate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not contribute to the anti-wrinkle rating.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that 111SKIN Celestial Black Diamond Retinol Oil is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

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.
