Does Hey Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Hey Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Lightweight moisturizer well-suited for oily to normal skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Hey Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 6.7 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.4 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈3.0%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with oily skin who want significant hydration in a relatively lightweight, non-greasy formula. It combines a substantial amount of humectants with a limited amount of occlusive to enhance moisturizing efficacy without feeling too heavy.

This product may also be an option for people with normal skin who prefer fast-absorbing textures, as it balances moderate moisturizing potential with a relatively lightweight texture.

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

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Hey Honey Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Retinyl Palmitate, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Retinyl 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, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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