🔵🔵🔵 Rich Moisturizer Well-Suited for Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Beauty Bay Colloidal Oatmeal + Oat Lipid Rich Moisturiser is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 7.6 out of 10.

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with dry skin who want intense hydration. It combines a significant concentration of humectants with a high level of occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing specifically for dry skin.

🟣 Slight Anti-Wrinkle Efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Beauty Bay Colloidal Oatmeal + Oat Lipid Rich Moisturiser has a slight 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. A clinical study involving 30 participants (Kawada et al.) confirmed that a cream with 4% niacinamide reduced the average depth of wrinkles around the eyes by 9% after 8 weeks of use, compared to a vehicle (the same formulation without niacinamide).
 
📌 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 additional anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.
