Review

Results you may expect from using Luxe Organix Retinol + Bakuchiol Treatment Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Luxe Organix Retinol + Bakuchiol Treatment Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.9 out of 10.
  • Some anti-wrinkle efficacy: Luxe Organix Retinol + Bakuchiol Treatment Cream has an anti-wrinkle rating of 3.7 out of 10 so you may expect some, although limited, effect on wrinkles.
  • Soothing: Luxe Organix Retinol + Bakuchiol Treatment Cream contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Luxe Organix Retinol + Bakuchiol Treatment Cream has a moisturizing rating of 6.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈9.0%) and Panthenol (est. ≈4.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.8 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Luxe Organix Retinol + Bakuchiol Treatment Cream has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 3.7 out of 10.

It contains 3 active ingredients with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy:

  • Retinol (est. ≈0.1%),
     the most effective non-prescription ingredient with well-proven efficacy to reduce wrinkles.
  • Sodium Salicylate (est. ≈0.3%),
     a sodium salt of salicylic acid, with average anti-wrinkle efficacy confirmed by one study.
  • Niacinamide (est. ≈0.3%),
     one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
Among others, Luxe Organix Retinol + Bakuchiol Treatment Cream also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Centella Asiatica Extract, Adenosine, Bakuchiol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Tripeptide-1, and Copper Tripeptide-1. 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 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.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Luxe Organix Retinol + Bakuchiol Treatment Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Polygonum Cuspidatum Root 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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Luxe Organix Retinol + Bakuchiol Treatment Cream is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Panthenol (est. ≈4.0%).

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.

Tripeptide-1
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
