Does ACURE Ultra Hydrating Overnight Dream Cream work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using ACURE Ultra Hydrating Overnight Dream Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.1 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

Moisturizer with the right occlusivity for dry skin, ideally to be used with extra humectants

According to CreamScan analysis, ACURE Ultra Hydrating Overnight Dream Cream is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 6.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 3.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.6 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (est. ≈9.0%) and Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, can deliver a substantial level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry skin. The occlusive profile of ACURE Ultra Hydrating Overnight Dream Cream suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

However, it contains a relatively low level of humectants, and people with dry skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

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

Rich in skin-protecting antioxidants

We estimate that ACURE Ultra Hydrating Overnight Dream Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (est. ≈9.0%).

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.
