Results you may expect from using Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream:

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream has a moisturizing rating of 4.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a moderate humectancy of 3.0 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 5.1 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈9.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, and Ascorbyl Glucoside. 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.

 
Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.
 

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Mad Hippie Triple C Night Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈9.0%), Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (est. ≈4.0%), Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate (est. ≈3.0%), 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.
