Key Benefits of Lush Vanishing Cream

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Lush Vanishing Cream:
 

Basic Moisturizer for Combination and Oily Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Lush Vanishing Cream is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a moderate humectancy of 3.3 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Honey (est. ≈3.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.2 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%) and Stearic Acid (est. ≈2.0%).

This product, when used alone as a moisturizer, provides moderate hydration in a relatively lightweight, non-greasy formula. This could work for people with oily skin who need a basic level of hydration.

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

Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that Lush Vanishing Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%).

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.

Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our AI model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.
