Does Crepe Erase 4-in-1 Line Smoothing Capsules work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Crepe Erase 4-in-1 Line Smoothing Capsules:

  • A bit of moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 1.4 out of 10.

Slight Moisturizing When Used Alone

According to CreamScan analysis, Crepe Erase 4-in-1 Line Smoothing Capsules is slightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 1.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of Humectancy and Occlusivity: a low Humectancy of 1.2 out of 10 and a low Occlusivity of 1.5 out of 10.

This type of product provides relatively light moisturizing on its own but can contribute to overall moisturizing efficacy when used as part of a skincare routine, 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, Crepe Erase 4-in-1 Line Smoothing Capsules has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, two ingredients often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. 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.
