Results you may expect from using Farmacy Daily Greens Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer with Moringa and Papaya:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Farmacy Daily Greens Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer with Moringa and Papaya:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Farmacy Daily Greens Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer with Moringa and Papaya has an anti-wrinkle rating of 1.5 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Farmacy Daily Greens Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer with Moringa and Papaya has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propanediol (est. ≈7.5%) and Glycerin (est. ≈5.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Farmacy Daily Greens Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer with Moringa and Papaya has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 1.5 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈1.0%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, Farmacy Daily Greens Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer with Moringa and Papaya also contains contains Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract and Gluconolactone, 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 Farmacy Daily Greens Oil-Free Gel Moisturizer with Moringa and Papaya is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Moringa Oleifera Leaf Water (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.
