/ 10 Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Athe Vital C-Some Toning Concentrate:
Quite moisturizing: Athe Vital C-Some Toning Concentrate has a moisturizing rating of 5.3 out of 10.
Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.6 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propanediol (est. ≈3.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈2.0%).
Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.
According to CreamScan analysis, Athe Vital C-Some Toning Concentrate has a moderate anti-wrinkle rating of 5.0 out of 10.
It contains 2 active ingredients with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy:
Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.
We estimate that Athe Vital C-Some Toning Concentrate is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Ascorbic Acid (est. ≈6.0%).
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.
