Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Pacifica Cosmic Renew AHA & Hemp Resurfacing Tonic:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.8 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Pacifica Cosmic Renew AHA & Hemp Resurfacing Tonic has a moisturizing rating of 3.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a high humectancy of 7.6 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Pacifica Cosmic Renew AHA & Hemp Resurfacing Tonic is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit/Leaf Extract (est. ≈1.5%), Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extract (est. ≈1.3%), Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract (est. ≈1.0%), 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.
