Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 5.1 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.8 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈9.0%) and Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Dr. Loretta Anti-Aging Repair Moisturizer has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract and Tetrapeptide-21, 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.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Est. %9

Phenoxyethanol
Est. %1
Function
Origin

Xanthan Gum
Est. %1

Potassium Cetyl Phosphate
Est. %1
Function
Origin
