Review

Results you may expect from using e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream SPF 30 Fair 150:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream SPF 30 Fair 150:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.0 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream SPF 30 Fair 150 has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.
  • High sun protection for extended outdoor activities and exposure.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream SPF 30 Fair 150 has a moisturizing rating of 7.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a high humectancy of 6.4 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈4.0%), and a high occlusivity of 7.5 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈9.0%) and Phenyl Trimethicone (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream SPF 30 Fair 150 has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈0.3%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream SPF 30 Fair 150 also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Ascorbyl Palmitate, 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 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.

Sun protection

e.l.f. Cosmetics Camo CC Cream SPF 30 Fair 150 has an SPF of 30 and provides high sun protection. This level of protection is ideal for activities such as spending time at the beach, outdoor sports, or other activities involving prolonged sun exposure. It's important to apply sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating to maintain effectiveness.

Est. %60
Function
Origin
WaterThe most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.
Dimethicone
Est. %9
Function
Origin
DimethiconeThe most common silicone in skincare. It forms a silky, smooth film on the skin’s surface and can help to prevent water loss. It also aids in wound healing and can treat and soften scars. Dimethicone is considered to be very safe for use.
Cyclopentasiloxane
