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%).

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, DEWYTREE Urban Shade Anti-Pollution Sun 50+ PA++++ has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

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