Review

Results you may expect from using Buttah Skin AHA/BHA Rosewater Toner:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Buttah Skin AHA/BHA Rosewater Toner:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.6 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Buttah Skin AHA/BHA Rosewater Toner contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Buttah Skin AHA/BHA Rosewater Toner has a moisturizing rating of 4.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a very high humectancy of 9.1 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈4.0%) and Propylene Glycol (est. ≈2.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Buttah Skin AHA/BHA Rosewater Toner is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈4.0%).

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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Buttah Skin AHA/BHA Rosewater Toner is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈4.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
