Review

Results you may expect from using Caldera + Lab The Good:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Caldera + Lab The Good:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.0 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Caldera + Lab The Good contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Caldera + Lab The Good has a moisturizing rating of 3.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 2.1 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 4.0 out of 10, entirely due to the high content of Achillea Millefolium Flower Extract (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Caldera + Lab The Good has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Ubiquinone, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Ubiquinone provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does 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 Caldera + Lab The Good is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Achillea Millefolium Flower Extract (est. ≈4.0%) and Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion) Leaf Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

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, Caldera + Lab The Good is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Urtica Dioica (Nettle) Leaf Extract (est. ≈3.0%).

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.
