Results you may expect from using Lions Pose Pep Talk Bio-Placenta Barrier Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Lions Pose Pep Talk Bio-Placenta Barrier Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.2 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Lions Pose Pep Talk Bio-Placenta Barrier Cream 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 6.3 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈9.0%) and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈2.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Lions Pose Pep Talk Bio-Placenta Barrier Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically sh-Oligopeptide-1, sh-Polypeptide-1, and sh-Polypeptide-9. 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.
