Review

Results you may expect from using My Dermatician Milky Blood Toner:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using My Dermatician Milky Blood Toner:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 2.1 out of 10.
  • Soothing: My Dermatician Milky Blood Toner contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: My Dermatician Milky Blood Toner has a moisturizing rating of 2.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a moderate humectancy of 4.2 out of 10, primarily due to Camellia Sinensis Callus (est. ≈1.0%), Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈1.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈1.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, My Dermatician Milky Blood Toner has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Retinyl Palmitate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Retinyl 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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, My Dermatician Milky Blood Toner is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract (est. ≈6.0%).

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.
