Review

Results you may expect from using Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Maximum hydration: Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask has the highest possible moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This is one of the most moisturizing products on the market, with a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈11.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Stearic Acid (est. ≈40.0%) and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈22.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask has a minimal 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.
 
Among others, Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Leontopodium Alpinum Callus Culture Extract, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. 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 contribute to 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 additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Charlotte Tilbury Instant Magic Facial Dry Sheet Mask is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (est. ≈6.0%) and Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

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.
