How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Aster Raine Rejuvenating Cream has a moisturizing rating of 7.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a very high humectancy of 9.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Niacinamide (est. ≈5.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a high occlusivity of 6.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Squalane (est. ≈9.0%) and Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Aster Raine Rejuvenating Cream has a high anti-wrinkle rating of 6.0 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈5.0%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, Aster Raine Rejuvenating Cream also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Gluconolactone, and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4. 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.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Aster Raine Rejuvenating Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Niacinamide (est. ≈5.0%).

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, Aster Raine Rejuvenating Cream is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Niacinamide (est. ≈5.0%).

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.
