Key Benefits of Beauty Bay Soothe Paste Blemish Treatment With Salicylic Acid And Prebiotic

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Beauty Bay Soothe Paste Blemish Treatment With Salicylic Acid And Prebiotic:
 

🔵 Slight Moisturizing When Used Alone

According to CreamScan analysis, Beauty Bay Soothe Paste Blemish Treatment With Salicylic Acid And Prebiotic is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 2.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.9 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 3.5 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈2.0%).

This type of product provides relatively light moisturizing on its own but can contribute to overall moisturizing efficacy when used as part of a skincare routine, alongside another moisturizer.

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

🟣 Slight Anti-Wrinkle Efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Beauty Bay Soothe Paste Blemish Treatment With Salicylic Acid And Prebiotic 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.
 

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

Things to Be Aware Of: Beauty Bay Soothe Paste Blemish Treatment With Salicylic Acid And Prebiotic

 
CreamScan identified a few things to consider before adding Beauty Bay Soothe Paste Blemish Treatment With Salicylic Acid And Prebiotic to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ As a Standalone Moisturizer, It Has Relatively Low Moisturizing Potential

If you use Beauty Bay Soothe Paste Blemish Treatment With Salicylic Acid And Prebiotic for moisturizing purposes, please keep in mind that it provides relatively light moisturizing on its own, and, more importantly, it’s not optimal for any skin type.

On one hand, it has low occlusivity, which suits oily and combination skin. On the other hand, it has a low estimated concentration of humectants, which are essential for effective moisturizing of all skin types, including oily skin.

Therefore, if used as a standalone moisturizer, this product should be paired with a humectant-rich moisturizer for optimal skin hydration.
