Results you may expect from using Algenist Splash Absolute Hydration Replenishing Sleeping Pack:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Algenist Splash Absolute Hydration Replenishing Sleeping Pack:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.5 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Algenist Splash Absolute Hydration Replenishing Sleeping Pack has a moisturizing rating of 6.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈9.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.0 out of 10, solely because of the high content of Dimethicone (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Algenist Splash Absolute Hydration Replenishing Sleeping Pack has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Beta-Glucan and Copper Gluconate, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. 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.
