Review

Results you may expect from using Eight Saints Soulmate Brightening Treatment:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Eight Saints Soulmate Brightening Treatment:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Eight Saints Soulmate Brightening Treatment has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.1 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Eight Saints Soulmate Brightening Treatment has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 3.2 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Hyaluronic Acid (est. ≈2.0%), and a high occlusivity of 6.7 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈11.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Eight Saints Soulmate Brightening Treatment has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.1 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Glycolic Acid (est. ≈0.3%),
 highly effective in peelings, yet with below-average anti-wrinkle efficacy when used in leave-on skincare products.
 
Among others, Eight Saints Soulmate Brightening Treatment also contains contains Centella Asiatica Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, 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 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 Eight Saints Soulmate Brightening Treatment is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Hyaluronic Acid (est. ≈2.0%).

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.
