Does Mahalo Skin Care The Hawaiian Nights work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Mahalo Skin Care The Hawaiian Nights:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.5 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

Moisturizer with the right occlusivity for dry skin, ideally to be used with extra humectants

According to CreamScan analysis, Mahalo Skin Care The Hawaiian Nights is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 4.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 0.3 out of 10 and a very high Occlusivity of 8.7 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Caryodendron Orinocense Nut Oil (est. ≈6.0%), Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Kernel Oil (est. ≈4.0%) and Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Seed Oil (est. ≈2.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, can deliver a substantial level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry skin. The occlusive profile of Mahalo Skin Care The Hawaiian Nights suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

However, it contains a low level of humectants, and people with dry skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

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

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Mahalo Skin Care The Hawaiian Nights has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does 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, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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

Rich in skin-protecting antioxidants

We estimate that Mahalo Skin Care The Hawaiian Nights is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Seed Oil (est. ≈2.0%).

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.
