Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a low humectancy of 0.3 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 4.0 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Beeswax (est. ≈4.0%) and Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, jane iredale AbsenceOil Control Primer has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Ascorbyl Palmitate, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. 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 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.
