Review

Results you may expect from using Epionce Renewal Facial Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Epionce Renewal Facial Cream:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Maximum hydration: Epionce Renewal Facial Cream has the highest possible moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This is one of the most moisturizing products on the market, with a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈6.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Petrolatum (est. ≈9.0%) and Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Epionce Renewal Facial Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

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.
