Review

Results you may expect from using NIOD Hydration Vaccine Face Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using NIOD Hydration Vaccine Face Cream:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Maximum hydration: NIOD Hydration Vaccine Face Cream has the highest possible moisturizing rating of 10.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This is one of the most moisturizing products on the market, with a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%) and Propanediol (est. ≈4.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Caprylyl Methicone (est. ≈40.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, NIOD Hydration Vaccine Face Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Leontopodium Alpinum Callus Culture Extract and Pseudoalteromonas Ferment 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.
