Review

Results you may expect from using Koh Gen Do Oriental Plants Night Moisture Repair Mask:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Koh Gen Do Oriental Plants Night Moisture Repair Mask:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.2 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Koh Gen Do Oriental Plants Night Moisture Repair Mask has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.6 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Koh Gen Do Oriental Plants Night Moisture Repair Mask has a moisturizing rating of 6.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 2.4 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈9.0%), Butylene Glycol (est. ≈6.0%) and Pentylene Glycol (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Koh Gen Do Oriental Plants Night Moisture Repair Mask has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.6 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate (est. ≈0.3%),
 the only derivative of Ascorbic acid with confirmed anti-wrinkle efficacy. This ingredient has below-average efficacy, proven by one study.
 
Among others, Koh Gen Do Oriental Plants Night Moisture Repair Mask also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Retinyl Palmitate, Ubiquinone, and Centella Asiatica 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.
