How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Origins Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Treatment Lotion has a moisturizing rating of 5.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.3 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈6.0%) and PEG-4 (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Origins Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Treatment Lotion has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Lactobacillus Ferment, Centella Asiatica Extract, and Caffeine. 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 Origins Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Mega-Mushroom Relief & Resilience Treatment Lotion is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Ganoderma Lucidum (Mushroom) Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Cordyceps Sinensis Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Ergothioneine (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

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.
