Does Pixi Beauty Glow Mist work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Pixi Beauty Glow Mist:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.6 out of 10.
  • Some anti-wrinkle efficacy: Pixi Beauty Glow Mist has an anti-wrinkle rating of 2.2 out of 10 so you may expect some, although limited, effect on wrinkles.
  • Soothing: Pixi Beauty Glow Mist contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

Well-suited moisturizer for normal skin with a relatively lightweight texture

According to CreamScan analysis, Pixi Beauty Glow Mist is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 5.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 6.7 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈3.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.6 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with normal skin. It combines a high concentration of humectants with a significant amount of occlusive ingredients to deliver effective dual-action moisturizing for normal skin.

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

Some anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Pixi Beauty Glow Mist has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 2.2 out of 10.

It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈1.5%), 
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients. A clinical study involving 30 participants (Kawada et al.) confirmed that a cream with 4% niacinamide reduced the average depth of wrinkles around the eyes by 9% after 8 weeks of use, compared to a vehicle (the same formulation without niacinamide).
 
Among others, Pixi Beauty Glow Mist also contains Adenosine, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Adenosine provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not contribute to 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 Pixi Beauty Glow Mist is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil (est. ≈6.0%) and Propolis Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

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.

Skin soothing and calming potential

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Pixi Beauty Glow Mist is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Propolis Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
