Results you may expect from using Peter Thomas Roth Green Releaf Calming Face Oil:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Peter Thomas Roth Green Releaf Calming Face Oil:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.0 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Peter Thomas Roth Green Releaf Calming Face Oil has a moisturizing rating of 6.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 2.1 out of 10 and a maximum Occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (est. ≈40.0%), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈11.0%) and Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Peter Thomas Roth Green Releaf Calming Face Oil has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, Ascorbyl Palmitate, and Gluconolactone. 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 Peter Thomas Roth Green Releaf Calming Face Oil is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (est. ≈40.0%), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈11.0%), Salvia Hispanica Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%), 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.

Function
Origin

The most popular moisturizing ingredient in the world. It is a powerful humectant – cheap yet very effective.

Allantoin
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Ceramide NP
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Also known as ceramide 3, it is the most common ceramide in our skin. It helps to restore the skin’s lipid barrier and alleviate the symptoms of dry and cracked skin. Research has shown that skin suffering from conditions such as AD lacks ceramides.
Water
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
A preservative widely used in food and personal care products, available from natural sources or synthetically produced. Potassium sorbate works by inhibiting the growth of yeasts, molds, and some bacteria.
