Results you may expect from using Juice Beauty Green Apple Brightening Emulsion Lightweight Moisturizer:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Juice Beauty Green Apple Brightening Emulsion Lightweight Moisturizer:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.7 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Juice Beauty Green Apple Brightening Emulsion Lightweight Moisturizer contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Juice Beauty Green Apple Brightening Emulsion Lightweight Moisturizer has a moisturizing rating of 7.7 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 Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈60.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈9.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 5.4 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%) and Stearic Acid (est. ≈2.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Juice Beauty Green Apple Brightening Emulsion Lightweight Moisturizer has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Ubiquinone and Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, 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.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Juice Beauty Green Apple Brightening Emulsion Lightweight Moisturizer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈60.0%).

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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Juice Beauty Green Apple Brightening Emulsion Lightweight Moisturizer is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈60.0%) and Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Extract (est. ≈4.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
