Review

Results you may expect from using Bobbi Brown Extra Repair Moisture Cream Intense:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Bobbi Brown Extra Repair Moisture Cream Intense:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 8.7 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: Bobbi Brown Extra Repair Moisture Cream Intense has a moisturizing rating of 8.7 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a very high humectancy of 8.8 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈6.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.6 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈9.0%) and Caprylic/Capric/Myristic/Stearic Triglyceride (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Bobbi Brown Extra Repair Moisture Cream Intense has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Extract, Acetyl Glucosamine, Caffeine, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, and Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do 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, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Bobbi Brown Extra Repair Moisture Cream Intense is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil (est. ≈0.3%), Citrus Grandis Peel Oil (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

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.
