Results you may expect from using First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Cranberry Pomegranate:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Cranberry Pomegranate:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.5 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Cranberry Pomegranate has a moisturizing rating of 7.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a high humectancy of 7.5 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a high occlusivity of 7.5 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Stearic Acid (est. ≈9.0%) and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Cranberry Pomegranate has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract 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 First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Cranberry Pomegranate is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Colloidal Oatmeal (est. ≈0.5%), Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

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.
