How moisturizing is it?

Maximum hydration: L'Oreal Sublime Bronze Express Mist Self-Tanning has the highest possible moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This is one of the most moisturizing products on the market, with a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Sulfated Castor Oil (est. ≈45.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈11.0%) and Euphorbia Cerifera (Candelilla) Wax (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 Sublime Bronze Express Mist Self-Tanning has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Ascorbyl Palmitate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Ascorbyl 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.
