Results you may expect from using Derma E Ultra Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Skin Serum:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Derma E Ultra Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Skin Serum:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.5 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Derma E Ultra Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Skin Serum has a moisturizing rating of 5.5 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. ≈4.0%) and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈2.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Derma E Ultra Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Skin Serum has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, two ingredients 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, 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 Derma E Ultra Hydrating Hyaluronic Acid Dewy Skin Serum is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Camellia Sinensis 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.
