Results you may expect from using Laura Geller New York Spackle Supercharged Fortified Under Make-Up Primer:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Laura Geller New York Spackle Supercharged Fortified Under Make-Up Primer:

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Laura Geller New York Spackle Supercharged Fortified Under Make-Up Primer has a moisturizing rating of 6.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a high humectancy of 6.1 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a high occlusivity of 6.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈9.0%) and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Laura Geller New York Spackle Supercharged Fortified Under Make-Up Primer has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. 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 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.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Laura Geller New York Spackle Supercharged Fortified Under Make-Up Primer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

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.

Ingredients explained

Water
Est. %65
Function
Origin
The most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.
Dimethicone
Est. %9
Function
Origin
The most common silicone in skincare. It forms a silky, smooth film on the skin’s surface and can help to prevent water loss. It also aids in wound healing and can treat and soften scars. Dimethicone is considered to be very safe for use.
Cyclopentasiloxane
Est. %6
Function
Origin
A lightweight, fast-spreading emollient that leaves a very soft and silky after-feel on the skin. Supplied as a clear and colorless liquid, cyclopentasiloxane is often used as a solvent to dissolve other silicones in.
Glycerin
Est. %4
Function
Origin

The most popular moisturizing ingredient in the world. It is a powerful humectant – cheap yet very effective.

Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride
Est. %3
Function
Origin
A natural occlusive moisturizing and emollient ingredient, it is a blend of glycerin and two fatty acids, caprylic and capric acid. It creates an oil-based protective layer on the skin, thereby preventing water loss.
Dimethiconol
Est. %2.5
Function
Origin
A synthetic dimethicone with rich, non-tacky emolliency. It features the typical sensorial profile of silicones, with high spreadability and a luxurious, oil-free after-feel. Dimethiconol can also serve as an antifoaming agent.
Phenoxyethanol
Est. %1
Function
Origin
The most frequently used preservative in skincare. It is a clear, oil-like liquid synthetic substance that protects products from harmful bacteria and yeast, whilst still leaving skin microflora unharmed. It is confirmed by research to be harmless.
PEG/PPG-18/18 Dimethicone
Est. %1
Function
Origin
A silicone-based emulsifier that has the ability to create non-sticky and non-greasy formulas.
