Review

Results you may expect from using 111SKIN NAC Y2 Pollution Defense Booster:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using 111SKIN NAC Y2 Pollution Defense Booster:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.2 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: 111SKIN NAC Y2 Pollution Defense Booster has a moisturizing rating of 3.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.2 out of 10 and a high humectancy of 6.3 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (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 NAC Y2 Pollution Defense Booster has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate 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 111SKIN NAC Y2 Pollution Defense Booster is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract (est. ≈1.9%), Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Seed Extract (est. ≈1.8%), Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (est. ≈1.0%), and others.

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.
