Does Clarins Super Restorative Neck and Decollete Cream work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Clarins Super Restorative Neck and Decollete Cream:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.7 out of 10.

Lightweight moisturizer suitable for oily skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Clarins Super Restorative Neck and Decollete Cream is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.7 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 2.2 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 5.2 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with oily skin who want essential hydration in a relatively lightweight, non-greasy formula. It combines a substantial amount of humectants with a limited amount of occlusive ingredients to enhance moisturizing efficacy without feeling too heavy.

Due to its moderate humectant content and some occlusivity, it can also positively contribute the moisturizing efficacy of a skincare routine for normal skin when used alongside another moisturizer.

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

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Clarins Super Restorative Neck and Decollete Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Harungana Madagascariensis Extract, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Extract, and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract. 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, 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.
