Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 2.0 out of 10 and a very high humectancy of 8.1 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of PEG-8 (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Clinique Self Sun Body Tinted Lotion - Medium/Deep has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Acetyl Glucosamine, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Acetyl Glucosamine 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.
