Does Pacifica Cosmic Beauty Drops CBD Balancing Serum work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Pacifica Cosmic Beauty Drops CBD Balancing Serum:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.8 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

Lightweight moisturizer well-suited for oily to normal skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Pacifica Cosmic Beauty Drops CBD Balancing Serum is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 5.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 7.9 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.8 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%) and Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with oily skin who want significant hydration in a relatively lightweight, non-greasy formula. It combines a substantial amount of humectants with a limited amount of occlusive to enhance moisturizing efficacy without feeling too heavy.

This product may also be an option for people with normal skin who prefer fast-absorbing textures, as it balances moderate moisturizing potential with a relatively lightweight texture.

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

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Pacifica Cosmic Beauty Drops CBD Balancing Serum has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Ascorbyl Palmitate, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Ascorbyl 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, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Rich in skin-protecting antioxidants

We estimate that Pacifica Cosmic Beauty Drops CBD Balancing Serum is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Cannabidiol - Synthetically Produced (est. ≈1.5%), Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈1.0%), Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (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.
