Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using MY SKIN MENTOR DR. G Green Mild Up Sun SPF 50+ PA++++:

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: MY SKIN MENTOR DR. G Green Mild Up Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ has a moisturizing rating of 3.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.0 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 5.8 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propanediol (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, MY SKIN MENTOR DR. G Green Mild Up Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Centella Asiatica Extract and Biosaccharide Gum-4, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. 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.

Sun protection

MY SKIN MENTOR DR. G Green Mild Up Sun SPF 50+ PA++++ has an SPF of 50 and provides very high sun protection. This level of protection is ideal for activities involving intense or prolonged sun exposure, such as spending the day at the beach, hiking, or outdoor sports. It is particularly recommended for individuals with fair skin, those at high risk of skin cancer, or in environments with intense sun exposure. Remember to apply sunscreen generously and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating to maintain effectiveness.
