Review

Results you may expect from using PUR Tropical C Brightening Vitamin C & Peptide Moisturizer:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using PUR Tropical C Brightening Vitamin C & Peptide Moisturizer:

  • Intense moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 9.2 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: PUR Tropical C Brightening Vitamin C & Peptide Moisturizer has a moisturizing rating of 9.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Propanediol (est. ≈9.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈2.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.4 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimer Dilinoleyl Dimer Dilinoleate (est. ≈6.0%) and Trioctyldodecyl Citrate (est. ≈4.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, PUR Tropical C Brightening Vitamin C & Peptide Moisturizer has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, and Lactobacillus Ferment. 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 PUR Tropical C Brightening Vitamin C & Peptide Moisturizer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (est. ≈0.3%), Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract (est. ≈0.3%), 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.
