Review

Results you may expect from using Mossa Vitamin Cocktail Rehydration Energising Day Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Mossa Vitamin Cocktail Rehydration Energising Day Cream:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.4 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Mossa Vitamin Cocktail Rehydration Energising Day Cream has a moisturizing rating of 4.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a moderate humectancy of 3.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 5.2 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit 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, Mossa Vitamin Cocktail Rehydration Energising Day Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Ascorbyl Palmitate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Ascorbyl Palmitate 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, 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 Mossa Vitamin Cocktail Rehydration Energising Day Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (est. ≈9.0%).

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.
