Results you may expect from using Dieux Skin Air Angel Gel Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Dieux Skin Air Angel Gel Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.8 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Dieux Skin Air Angel Gel Cream has a moisturizing rating of 6.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈7.5%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.6 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Dimethicone (est. ≈5.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Dieux Skin Air Angel Gel Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline and Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12, 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.
