Review

Results you may expect from using Glow Recipe Cloudberry Bright Essence Toner:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Glow Recipe Cloudberry Bright Essence Toner:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.8 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Glow Recipe Cloudberry Bright Essence Toner has a moisturizing rating of 3.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.8 out of 10 and a high humectancy of 6.9 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈5.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Glow Recipe Cloudberry Bright Essence Toner has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Ubiquinone and Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract, 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.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Glow Recipe Cloudberry Bright Essence Toner is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Rubus Chamaemorus Fruit Extract (est. ≈4.0%).

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.
