ACURE Resurfacing Inter-Gly-Lactic Shimmer Serum | Complete Review, 0-10 Anti-Wrinkle and Moisturizing Ratings, Ingredients Explained

Review

Results you may expect from using ACURE Resurfacing Inter-Gly-Lactic Shimmer Serum:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using ACURE Resurfacing Inter-Gly-Lactic Shimmer Serum:

Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.3 out of 10.

Little anti-wrinkle effect: ACURE Resurfacing Inter-Gly-Lactic Shimmer Serum has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.1 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.

Soothing: ACURE Resurfacing Inter-Gly-Lactic Shimmer Serum contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: ACURE Resurfacing Inter-Gly-Lactic Shimmer Serum has a moisturizing rating of 5.3 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.6 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%) and Biosaccharide Gum-1 (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, ACURE Resurfacing Inter-Gly-Lactic Shimmer Serum has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.1 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Glycolic Acid (est. ≈0.3%),

highly effective in peelings, yet with below-average anti-wrinkle efficacy when used in leave-on skincare products.

Among others, ACURE Resurfacing Inter-Gly-Lactic Shimmer Serum also contains Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract 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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, ACURE Resurfacing Inter-Gly-Lactic Shimmer Serum is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Biosaccharide Gum-1 (est. ≈4.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
