Review

Results you may expect from using ACURE Radically Rejuvenating Dual Phase Bakuchiol Serum:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using ACURE Radically Rejuvenating Dual Phase Bakuchiol Serum:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.6 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: ACURE Radically Rejuvenating Dual Phase Bakuchiol Serum has a moisturizing rating of 5.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 7.0 out of 10, entirely due to the substantial concentration of Propanediol (est. ≈4.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈6.0%) and Tocopherol (est. ≈2.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, ACURE Radically Rejuvenating Dual Phase Bakuchiol Serum has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Ascorbyl Glucoside, Bakuchiol, and Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do 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 ACURE Radically Rejuvenating Dual Phase Bakuchiol Serum is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Tocopherol (est. ≈2.0%).

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.

Ingredients explained

Water
Est. %75
Function
Origin
The most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Est. %6
Function
Origin
A natural occlusive moisturizing and emollient ingredient, it is a blend of glycerin and two fatty acids, caprylic and capric acid. It creates an oil-based protective layer on the skin, thereby preventing water loss.
Propanediol
Est. %4
Function
Origin

Function
Origin

The most popular moisturizing ingredient in the world. It is a powerful humectant – cheap yet very effective.
