Review

Results you may expect from using Haruharu Wonder Centella Phyto & 5 Peptide Concentrate Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Haruharu Wonder Centella Phyto & 5 Peptide Concentrate Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.2 out of 10.
  • Some anti-wrinkle efficacy: Haruharu Wonder Centella Phyto & 5 Peptide Concentrate Cream has an anti-wrinkle rating of 3.0 out of 10 so you may expect some, although limited, effect on wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Haruharu Wonder Centella Phyto & 5 Peptide Concentrate Cream has a moisturizing rating of 7.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈9.0%) and Butylene Glycol (est. ≈6.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.5 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈4.0%) and Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Haruharu Wonder Centella Phyto & 5 Peptide Concentrate Cream has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 3.0 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Asiaticoside (est. ≈0.3%), 
 derived from the plant Centella asiatica, an ingredient with moderate anti-wrinkle efficacy confirmed by one study.
 
Among others, Haruharu Wonder Centella Phyto & 5 Peptide Concentrate Cream also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Caffeine, Adenosine, Centella Asiatica Extract, Copper Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4. 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.
