Does COSMEDIX Emulsion work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using COSMEDIX Emulsion:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.9 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

Well-suited moisturizer for normal skin with a relatively lightweight texture

According to CreamScan analysis, COSMEDIX Emulsion is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 5.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 7.8 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.0 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈4.0%) and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈3.0%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with normal skin. It combines a high concentration of humectants with a significant amount of occlusive ingredients to deliver effective dual-action moisturizing for normal skin.

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

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, COSMEDIX Emulsion has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Gluconolactone, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, and Copper Gluconate. 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.

Rich in skin-protecting antioxidants

We estimate that COSMEDIX Emulsion is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Melia Azadirachta Flower Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

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.
