According to CreamScan analysis, Lancer Skincare Radiance Awakening Mask Intense has a high anti-wrinkle rating of 6.0 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈4.0%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, Lancer Skincare Radiance Awakening Mask Intense also contains contains Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate and Gluconolactone, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Lancer Skincare Radiance Awakening Mask Intense is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Niacinamide (est. ≈4.0%) and Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (est. ≈3.0%).

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, Lancer Skincare Radiance Awakening Mask Intense is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Niacinamide (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.
