Review

Results you may expect from using Jan Marini Age Intervention Duality Anti-Age:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Jan Marini Age Intervention Duality Anti-Age:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.2 out of 10.
  • Some anti-wrinkle efficacy: Jan Marini Age Intervention Duality Anti-Age has an anti-wrinkle rating of 2.5 out of 10 so you may expect some, although limited, effect on wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Jan Marini Age Intervention Duality Anti-Age has a moisturizing rating of 6.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 5.8 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a high occlusivity of 6.6 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈9.0%) and Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈2.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Jan Marini Age Intervention Duality Anti-Age has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 2.5 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Retinol (est. ≈0.1%), 
 the most effective non-prescription ingredient with well-proven efficacy to reduce wrinkles.
 
Among others, Jan Marini Age Intervention Duality Anti-Age also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, and Palmitoyl Oligopeptide. 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.
