Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.5 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (est. ≈5.0%), Propanediol (est. ≈4.9%) and Glycerin (est. ≈4.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, ma:nyo Galactomy Moisture Lotion has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 2.8 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈1.9%), 
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, ma:nyo Galactomy Moisture Lotion also contains contains Centella Asiatica Extract and Melia Azadirachta Leaf 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 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 ma:nyo Galactomy Moisture Lotion is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈50.0%).

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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, ma:nyo Galactomy Moisture Lotion is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈50.0%).

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.
