Results you may expect from using DRMTLGY Exfoliating Body Lotion:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using DRMTLGY Exfoliating Body Lotion:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.5 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: DRMTLGY Exfoliating Body Lotion has a moisturizing rating of 6.5 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 Lactic Acid (est. ≈9.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.0 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈3.0%) and Hydrogenated Soybean Oil (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, DRMTLGY Exfoliating Body Lotion has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. 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.
