Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using 111SKIN Y Theorem Repair Light Serum NAC Y2:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.5 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: 111SKIN Y Theorem Repair Light Serum NAC Y2 has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: 111SKIN Y Theorem Repair Light Serum NAC Y2 has a moisturizing rating of 4.5 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 very high humectancy of 8.8 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 Y Theorem Repair Light Serum NAC Y2 has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈0.3%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, 111SKIN Y Theorem Repair Light Serum NAC Y2 also 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 contribute to 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 additional anti-wrinkle efficacy 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 Y Theorem Repair Light Serum NAC Y2 is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Extract (est. ≈1.9%), Calendula Officinalis Extract (est. ≈1.5%), Aesculus Hippocastanum (Horse Chestnut) Extract (est. ≈0.3%), 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.
