Review

Results you may expect from using epi.logic The Total Package Fortifying Peptide Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using epi.logic The Total Package Fortifying Peptide Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.9 out of 10.
  • Some anti-wrinkle efficacy: epi.logic The Total Package Fortifying Peptide Cream has an anti-wrinkle rating of 3.8 out of 10 so you may expect some, although limited, effect on wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: epi.logic The Total Package Fortifying Peptide Cream has a moisturizing rating of 6.9 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 Glycerin (est. ≈9.0%) and Niacinamide (est. ≈2.5%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.8 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Squalane (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, epi.logic The Total Package Fortifying Peptide Cream has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 3.8 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈2.5%), 
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, epi.logic The Total Package Fortifying Peptide Cream also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, Gluconolactone, Bakuchiol, and Ubiquinone. 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 epi.logic The Total Package Fortifying Peptide Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Niacinamide (est. ≈2.5%).

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.
