How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Vitamin C Lactic Oil-Free Radiant Moisturizer has a moisturizing rating of 7.3 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. ≈6.0%) and Lactic Acid (est. ≈2.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.6 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Squalane (est. ≈9.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Vitamin C Lactic Oil-Free Radiant Moisturizer has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 3.2 out of 10.

It contains 2 active ingredients with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy:

  • Niacinamide (est. ≈1.3%),
     one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
  • Ascorbic Acid (est. ≈2.5%),
     or Vitamin C, a popular anti-wrinkle ingredient, yet with average efficacy confirmed by only one study.
Among others, Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Vitamin C Lactic Oil-Free Radiant Moisturizer also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Ubiquinone, Soy Isoflavones, Adenosine, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Coffea Arabica (Coffee) Seed Extract, and some others. 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 contribute to 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 additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Vitamin C Lactic Oil-Free Radiant Moisturizer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (est. ≈4.0%), Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (est. ≈3.0%) and Ascorbic Acid (est. ≈2.5%).

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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Vitamin C Lactic Oil-Free Radiant Moisturizer is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Niacinamide (est. ≈1.3%), Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈1.0%), Quercetin (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
