  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a moderate humectancy of 4.0 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈2.5%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.9 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Butylene Glycol Dicaprylate/Dicaprate (est. ≈4.0%) and Phenyl Trimethicone (est. ≈2.0%).

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Avon Tone Up Primer in Lavender has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈0.3%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
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.
