Review

Results you may expect from using Furtuna Skin Micellar Cleansing Essence:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Furtuna Skin Micellar Cleansing Essence:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.1 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Furtuna Skin Micellar Cleansing Essence has a moisturizing rating of 3.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a high humectancy of 6.2 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propanediol (est. ≈4.0%).

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, Furtuna Skin Micellar Cleansing Essence has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Gluconolactone, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Gluconolactone 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.
