Review

Results you may expect from using Corthe Moisture Rx Recharging:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Corthe Moisture Rx Recharging:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Maximum hydration: Corthe Moisture Rx Recharging 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 Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈2.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈45.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Corthe Moisture Rx Recharging has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Corthe Moisture Rx Recharging is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

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.

Function
Origin
BetaineAn ingredient derived from the sucrose in sugar beets. It has a negative chemical charge and a positive chemical charge on the same molecule. This allows betaine to be hygroscopic or humectant and thus provide moisturization by drawing water to the skin.
