Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Eva Naturals Retinol 2.5% Cream Moisturizer has a maximum anti-wrinkle rating of 10.0 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Retinol (est. ≈2.5%),
 the most effective non-prescription ingredient with well-proven efficacy to reduce wrinkles.
 
Among others, Eva Naturals Retinol 2.5% Cream Moisturizer also 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 contribute to the anti-wrinkle rating.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Eva Naturals Retinol 2.5% Cream Moisturizer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈70.0%).

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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Eva Naturals Retinol 2.5% Cream Moisturizer is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈70.0%).

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.
