Does Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Sleep Masque work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Sleep Masque:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 8.0 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Sleep Masque contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.

How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Sleep Masque has a moisturizing rating of 8.0 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 Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈9.0%), and a high occlusivity of 6.0 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%) and Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Sleep Masque has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Oligopeptide-1, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Oligopeptide-1 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 Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Sleep Masque is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈9.0%) and Tocopherol (est. ≈2.0%).

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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Grown Alchemist Age-Repair Sleep Masque is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈9.0%).

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.
