Results you may expect from using ILLIYOON Ceramide Derma Moisturizing Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using ILLIYOON Ceramide Derma Moisturizing Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.6 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: ILLIYOON Ceramide Derma Moisturizing Cream has a moisturizing rating of 7.6 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 5.2 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Squalane (est. ≈4.0%) and Phenyl Trimethicone (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, ILLIYOON Ceramide Derma Moisturizing Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

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

Ingredients explained

Water
Est. %60
Function
Origin
WaterThe most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.

The most popular moisturizing ingredient in the world. It is a powerful humectant – cheap yet very effective.

Butylene Glycol
