Results you may expect from using L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Anti Wrinkle Night Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Anti Wrinkle Night Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.4 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Anti Wrinkle Night Cream has a moisturizing rating of 7.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a very high humectancy of 9.9 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈9.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.9 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, L'Oreal Paris Revitalift Anti Wrinkle Night Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Retinyl Palmitate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Retinyl Palmitate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does 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.
