Key Benefits of Averr Aglow No.4 Decadent Restoring Cream

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Averr Aglow No.4 Decadent Restoring Cream:
 

Perfect Moisturizer for Normal to Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Averr Aglow No.4 Decadent Restoring Cream is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 7.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a very high humectancy of 8.2 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a high occlusivity of 7.0 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil (est. ≈9.0%) and Ethylhexyl Olivate (est. ≈2.5%).

This type of moisturizer is ideal for people with normal skin who want intense hydration in a rich yet not overly thick formula. It combines a high concentration of humectants with a significant amount of occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing.

The product’s occlusive profile suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.

This product may also be a good choice for people with dry (but not very dry) skin for daily hydration, as it strikes a balance between significant moisturizing potential and a texture that is not too thick.

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

Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that Averr Aglow No.4 Decadent Restoring Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Rhodochrosite Extract (est. ≈3.0%).

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.

Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our AI model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: Averr Aglow No.4 Decadent Restoring Cream

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Averr Aglow No.4 Decadent Restoring Cream to your skincare routine:
 

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

If one of your main reasons for choosing Averr Aglow No.4 Decadent Restoring Cream is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, it currently has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.

While this does not categorically exclude the possibility that Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract may reduce wrinkles, its efficacy is not supported by convincing, vehicle-controlled, double-blind clinical studies - at least none that were accessible to the CreamScan team at the time of publication.

Therefore, this ingredient does 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, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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