Results you may expect from using Hamel Double Shot 12GF Core Glow Mist Serum:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Hamel Double Shot 12GF Core Glow Mist Serum:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.1 out of 10.
  • Some anti-wrinkle efficacy: Hamel Double Shot 12GF Core Glow Mist Serum has an anti-wrinkle rating of 2.2 out of 10 so you may expect some, although limited, effect on wrinkles.
  • Soothing: Hamel Double Shot 12GF Core Glow Mist Serum contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Hamel Double Shot 12GF Core Glow Mist Serum has a moisturizing rating of 6.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 2.2 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract (est. ≈6.0%), Butylene Glycol (est. ≈4.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈2.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Hamel Double Shot 12GF Core Glow Mist Serum has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 2.2 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈1.5%), 
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, Hamel Double Shot 12GF Core Glow Mist Serum also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Centella Asiatica Extract, Beta-Glucan, Adenosine, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, sh-Oligopeptide-1, sh-Polypeptide-1, sh-Polypeptide-9, and some others. 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 contribute to 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 additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Hamel Double Shot 12GF Core Glow Mist Serum is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract (est. ≈70.0%).

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, Hamel Double Shot 12GF Core Glow Mist Serum is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract (est. ≈70.0%).

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.
