Review

Results you may expect from using Le Mieux O2 Calming Gel:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Le Mieux O2 Calming Gel:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 2.7 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Le Mieux O2 Calming Gel contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Le Mieux O2 Calming Gel has a moisturizing rating of 2.7 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a moderate humectancy of 5.4 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Hyaluronic Acid (est. ≈2.5%) and Allantoin (est. ≈2.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Le Mieux O2 Calming Gel is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Hyaluronic Acid (est. ≈2.5%) and Camellia Sinensis Extract (est. ≈2.4%).

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, Le Mieux O2 Calming Gel is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Camellia Sinensis Extract (est. ≈2.4%) and Allantoin (est. ≈2.0%).

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.
