Does Kjaer Weis The Beautiful Night Potion work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Kjaer Weis The Beautiful Night Potion:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.9 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Kjaer Weis The Beautiful Night Potion contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

Moisturizer with the right occlusivity for normal to dry skin, ideally to be used with extra humectants

According to CreamScan analysis, Kjaer Weis The Beautiful Night Potion is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 4.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 1.8 out of 10 and a high Occlusivity of 7.9 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%), Squalane (est. ≈4.0%) and C10-18 Triglycerides (est. ≈2.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide a significant level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for normal skin.

However, it contains a low level of humectants, and people with normal skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

The occlusive profile of Kjaer Weis The Beautiful Night Potion suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.

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

Rich in skin-protecting antioxidants

We estimate that Kjaer Weis The Beautiful Night Potion is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

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 and calming potential

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Kjaer Weis The Beautiful Night Potion is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

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.
