Review

Results you may expect from using iS Clinical Body Complex:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using iS Clinical Body Complex:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.3 out of 10.
  • Considerable anti-wrinkle efficacy: iS Clinical Body Complex has an anti-wrinkle rating of 5.5 out of 10, indicating a moderate ability to reduce wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: iS Clinical Body Complex has a moisturizing rating of 5.3 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.6 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Hyaluronic Acid (est. ≈2.5%), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈2.4%) and Glycerin (est. ≈2.3%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, iS Clinical Body Complex has a moderate anti-wrinkle rating of 5.5 out of 10.

It contains 2 active ingredients 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.
  • Retinol (est. ≈0.1%),
     the most effective non-prescription ingredient with well-proven efficacy to reduce wrinkles.
Among others, iS Clinical Body Complex also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract. 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 iS Clinical Body Complex is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Hyaluronic Acid (est. ≈2.5%), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈2.4%), Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract (est. ≈2.1%), and others.

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.

Ingredients explained

Water
Est. %75
Function
Origin
The 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.
Hyaluronic Acid
Est. %2.5
Function
Origin

A potent, skin-identical humectant moisturizing ingredient that is able to bind water 1000 times its own weight. The anti-aging benefits of hyaluronic acid are due to its ability to stimulate the synthesis of collagen in the skin.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
Est. %2.4

Function
Origin

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

Butylene Glycol
Est. %2.2
Function
Origin

Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract
Est. %1.5
Function
Origin
An antioxidant extract from sugar maple bark and sap – the same sweet sap used to make maple syrup. It has a faint vanilla smell and is used in skincare for its exfoliating properties. This is because of the small sugar crystals present in the extract.
Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract
Est. %1.3

Function
Origin
