Review

Results you may expect from using Gold Bond Ultimate Crepe Corrector Age Defense Lotion:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Gold Bond Ultimate Crepe Corrector Age Defense Lotion:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 8.2 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Gold Bond Ultimate Crepe Corrector Age Defense Lotion contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: Gold Bond Ultimate Crepe Corrector Age Defense Lotion has a moisturizing rating of 8.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Hydroxyethyl Urea (est. ≈9.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a high occlusivity of 6.5 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈4.0%) and Jojoba Esters (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Gold Bond Ultimate Crepe Corrector Age Defense Lotion has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Ubiquinone and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, 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 Gold Bond Ultimate Crepe Corrector Age Defense Lotion is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈1.5%), Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Fruit Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit 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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Gold Bond Ultimate Crepe Corrector Age Defense Lotion is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Jojoba Esters (est. ≈3.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
