Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.2 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈9.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Earth Rhythm Phyto Clear Oil Free Moisturiser has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Centella Asiatica Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Centella Asiatica Extract provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does 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.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Earth Rhythm Phyto Clear Oil Free Moisturiser is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract (est. ≈6.0%), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract (est. ≈4.0%), Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract (est. ≈3.0%), and others.

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, Earth Rhythm Phyto Clear Oil Free Moisturiser is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Humulus Lupulus (Hops) Extract (est. ≈6.0%), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract (est. ≈4.0%), Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract (est. ≈3.0%), 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.
