Review

Results you may expect from using Glo Skin Beauty Satin Cream Foundation - Golden Fair:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Glo Skin Beauty Satin Cream Foundation - Golden Fair:

Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.4 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Glo Skin Beauty Satin Cream Foundation - Golden Fair has a moisturizing rating of 3.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a low humectancy of 2.1 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 4.8 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Phenyl Trimethicone (est. ≈9.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Glo Skin Beauty Satin Cream Foundation - Golden Fair has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Retinyl Palmitate and Ascorbyl Palmitate, 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 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.
