  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.5 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Face Gym Lifting Q10 + Mastic Tree Enzymatically-Activated Face Oil has a moisturizing rating of 6.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 3.0 out of 10, solely because of the high content of Plankton Extract (est. ≈3.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Squalane (est. ≈45.0%) and Borago Officinalis Seed Oil (est. ≈22.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Face Gym Lifting Q10 + Mastic Tree Enzymatically-Activated Face Oil has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Ubiquinone, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Ubiquinone 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 Face Gym Lifting Q10 + Mastic Tree Enzymatically-Activated Face Oil is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Borago Officinalis Seed Oil (est. ≈22.0%), Almond/Borage/Linseed/Olive Acids/Glycerides (est. ≈11.0%) and Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

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, Face Gym Lifting Q10 + Mastic Tree Enzymatically-Activated Face Oil is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Borago Officinalis Seed Oil (est. ≈22.0%).

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.
