Review

Results you may expect from using Miguhara Collagen Cream Origin:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Miguhara Collagen Cream Origin:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.3 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Miguhara Collagen Cream Origin contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Miguhara Collagen Cream Origin has a moisturizing rating of 5.3 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.6 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Hydrolyzed Collagen (est. ≈40.0%), Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈22.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Miguhara Collagen Cream Origin has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Adenosine, Beta-Glucan, and Dipeptide Diaminobutyroyl Benzylamide Diacetate. 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.

Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Miguhara Collagen Cream Origin is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈22.0%).

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, Miguhara Collagen Cream Origin is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈22.0%).

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.
