Review

Results you may expect from using Naturally Serious Skin Warrior Anti-Pollution Repair Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Naturally Serious Skin Warrior Anti-Pollution Repair Cream:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 9.2 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: Naturally Serious Skin Warrior Anti-Pollution Repair Cream has a moisturizing rating of 9.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%) and Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract (est. ≈4.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.3 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈9.0%) and Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Naturally Serious Skin Warrior Anti-Pollution Repair Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Caffeine and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, 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.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Naturally Serious Skin Warrior Anti-Pollution Repair Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Pyrus Malus (Apple) Fruit Extract (est. ≈4.0%).

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.
