Review

Results you may expect from using Ahava Extreme Day Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Ahava Extreme Day Cream:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.1 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Ahava Extreme Day Cream has a moisturizing rating of 3.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.7 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 4.5 out of 10, primarily due to Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈1.5%), Glycerin (est. ≈0.3%) and Erythritol (est. ≈0.3%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Ahava Extreme Day Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Palmitoyl Oligopeptide, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, and Folic Acid. 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 Ahava Extreme Day Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈1.5%), Squalene (est. ≈1.0%), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (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.
