Key Benefits of DEWYTREE Urban Shade Anti-Pollution Sun 50+ PA++++

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using DEWYTREE Urban Shade Anti-Pollution Sun 50+ PA++++:
 

🔵 Lightweight Moisturizer Suitable for Oily Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, DEWYTREE Urban Shade Anti-Pollution Sun 50+ PA++++ is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.7 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 5.8 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propanediol (est. ≈4.0%).

This product, when used alone as a moisturizer, can provide light humectant hydration in a fast-absorbing formula with a minimal amount of occlusive ingredients. This could work for people with oily skin who need a basic level of hydration.

💧  A Humectant Add-on for Any Skincare Routine

But it’s not limited to oily skin - since it contains a moderate amount of humectants, such a humectant add-on will also positively contribute to the moisturizing efficacy of any skincare routine when used as a step before applying the main moisturizer.

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

Things to Be Aware Of: DEWYTREE Urban Shade Anti-Pollution Sun 50+ PA++++

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding DEWYTREE Urban Shade Anti-Pollution Sun 50+ PA++++ to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

If one of your main reasons for choosing DEWYTREE Urban Shade Anti-Pollution Sun 50+ PA++++ is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, it currently has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Biosaccharide Gum-4 and Centella Asiatica Extract, 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.

While this does not categorically rule out the possibility that these ingredients may reduce wrinkles, their efficacy is not supported by convincing, vehicle-controlled, double-blind clinical studies - at least none that were available to the CreamScan team at the time of publication.

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.
