Review

Results you may expect from using Guinot Nutri Cellulaire Face Serum:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Guinot Nutri Cellulaire Face Serum:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.9 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Guinot Nutri Cellulaire Face Serum has a moisturizing rating of 5.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 6.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 5.3 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%) and Pentaerythrityl Tetraethylhexanoate (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Guinot Nutri Cellulaire Face Serum has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

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