Review

Results you may expect from using Laneige Neo Cushion Glow 17N:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Laneige Neo Cushion Glow 17N:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.3 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Laneige Neo Cushion Glow 17N has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Laneige Neo Cushion Glow 17N has a moisturizing rating of 3.3 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 2.3 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 4.3 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Laneige Neo Cushion Glow 17N has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈0.3%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, Laneige Neo Cushion Glow 17N also contains Adenosine, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Adenosine provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does 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.
 

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