Filorga Universal Cream | Complete Review, 0-10 Anti-Wrinkle and Moisturizing Ratings, Ingredients Explained

Review

Results you may expect from using Filorga Universal Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Filorga Universal Cream:

Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.1 out of 10.

Little anti-wrinkle effect: Filorga Universal Cream has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.5 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Filorga Universal Cream has a moisturizing rating of 6.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 2.2 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propanediol (est. ≈5.1%) and Glycerin (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Filorga Universal Cream has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.5 out of 10.

It contains 2 active ingredients with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy:

- Niacinamide (est. ≈0.3%),
  one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
- Ascorbic Acid (est. ≈0.3%),
  or Vitamin C, a popular anti-wrinkle ingredient, yet with average efficacy confirmed by only one study.

Among others, Filorga Universal Cream also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Artemia Extract, Retinyl Acetate, and Folic Acid. 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.
