How moisturizing is it?

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 4.5 out of 10 and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Triethylhexanoin (est. ≈35.0%) and Phytosteryl/Isostearyl/Cetyl/Stearyl/Behenyl Dimer Dilinoleate (est. ≈22.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, CNP Laboratory Propolis Lipcerin has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Gluconolactone, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9, Beta-Glucan, and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8. 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, 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.
