Results you may expect from using AmorePacific Moisture Bound Rejuvenating Creme:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using AmorePacific Moisture Bound Rejuvenating Creme:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.4 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: AmorePacific Moisture Bound Rejuvenating Creme has a moisturizing rating of 7.4 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. ≈3.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.8 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate (est. ≈2.5%) and Dimethicone (est. ≈2.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, AmorePacific Moisture Bound Rejuvenating Creme has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Beta-Glucan, and Caffeine. 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 AmorePacific Moisture Bound Rejuvenating Creme is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Opuntia Coccinellifera Fruit Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Glycine Soja (Soybean) Seed Extract (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.

Phyllostachys Bambusoides Juice
Est. %55
Function
Origin

Butylene Glycol
Est. %9
Function
Origin
A clear, colorless liquid humectant that draws moisture to the skin. The humectancy of butylene glycol, owed to its two hydroxyl groups, is quite considerable, although not as powerful as glycerin, which contains three hydroxyl groups.
Water
Est. %6
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.
Alcohol
Est. %4
Function
Origin
An effective antimicrobial ingredient that kills bacteria, fungi, and even some viruses. It is also an excellent solvent and astringent. Alcohol helps to create lighter and less viscous products. It can, however, be dehydrating and skin-sensitizing.
Glycerin
Est. %3
Function
Origin

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

Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate
Est. %2.5
