Key Benefits of CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme:
 

🔵🔵 Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Normal to Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 4.3 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 2.2 out of 10 and a high Occlusivity of 6.4 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Squalane (est. ≈6.0%) and Ethylhexyl Olivate (est. ≈4.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide a significant level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for normal to dry skin.

The occlusive profile of CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.

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

📌 Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme

 
CreamScan identified a few things to consider before adding CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme contains a relatively low level of humectants.

People with normal to dry skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

⚠️ Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

If one of your main reasons for choosing CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, it currently has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains sh-Oligopeptide-1, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of sh-Oligopeptide-1 provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.

While this does not categorically rule out the possibility that sh-Oligopeptide-1 may reduce wrinkles, its efficacy is not supported by convincing, vehicle-controlled, double-blind clinical studies - at least none that were available to the CreamScan team at the time of publication.

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, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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

Pros & Cons of CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme

 
Here’s an overview of the pros and cons of CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your skincare routine:
 

🟩 Pros:

Provides the right level of occlusivity to moisturize normal to dry skin
Rich and creamy texture without being overly thick
 

⭕ Cons: 

⚠️ Only if used as a standalone moisturizer - needs to be paired with extra humectants for optimal moisturizing efficacy
⚠️ Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy
   

Summary: CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme

 
Based on the ingredient list analysis, CreamScan AI suggests that CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme
, as a moisturizer, provides an adequate level of occlusivity for normal to dry skin, delivered in a rich yet not overly thick formula.
 
That said, there are some things about CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme worth noting.
 
If you use this product as your only moisturizer in a routine, please note that it contains only a small amount of humectants. Regardless of your skin type, adding extra humectants can enhance optimal moisturizing efficacy. Therefore, it may be worth pairing CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme with a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.
 
If one of your main reasons for considering CHOSEN Peptide Therapy Intense Repair Creme is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, its anti-wrinkle efficacy is questionable. None of the ingredients in this product provide substantial evidence of their anti-wrinkle efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.
