Results you may expect from using Apprenti Organik Cell Revival Firming lotion:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Apprenti Organik Cell Revival Firming lotion:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Apprenti Organik Cell Revival Firming lotion has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.6 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.
  • Soothing: Apprenti Organik Cell Revival Firming lotion contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Apprenti Organik Cell Revival Firming lotion has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a moderate humectancy of 5.3 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈2.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.7 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil (est. ≈4.0%) and Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Apprenti Organik Cell Revival Firming lotion has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.6 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (est. ≈0.3%),
 the only derivative of Ascorbic acid with confirmed anti-wrinkle efficacy. This ingredient has below-average efficacy, proven by one study.
 
Among others, Apprenti Organik Cell Revival Firming lotion also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Ubiquinone, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, and Gluconolactone. 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 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.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Apprenti Organik Cell Revival Firming lotion is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil (est. ≈4.0%), Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%) and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Apprenti Organik Cell Revival Firming lotion is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Salix Nigra (Willow) Bark Extract (est. ≈11.0%) and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

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.
