Review

Results you may expect from using Arbonne RE9 Advanced Extra Moisture Restorative Cream SPF 20 Sunscreen:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Arbonne RE9 Advanced Extra Moisture Restorative Cream SPF 20 Sunscreen:

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Arbonne RE9 Advanced Extra Moisture Restorative Cream SPF 20 Sunscreen has a moisturizing rating of 4.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.6 out of 10 and a very high humectancy of 8.2 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Arbonne RE9 Advanced Extra Moisture Restorative Cream SPF 20 Sunscreen has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Pueraria Lobata Root Extract, Retinyl Palmitate, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, 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 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 Arbonne RE9 Advanced Extra Moisture Restorative Cream SPF 20 Sunscreen is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil (est. ≈0.3%), Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (est. ≈0.3%), Borago Officinalis 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.

Sun protection

Arbonne RE9 Advanced Extra Moisture Restorative Cream SPF 20 Sunscreen has an SPF of 20 and provides moderate sun protection. This level of protection is generally adequate for most daily activities, such as running errands or spending short periods outdoors. However, if you spend a substantial amount of time outdoors, it is better to use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher.
