How moisturizing is it?

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a very high humectancy of 9.4 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%) and Niacinamide (est. ≈3.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.0 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Quickfx Bright Em Up Glass Skin Bright Serum Lotion has a moderate anti-wrinkle rating of 4.5 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈3.0%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, Quickfx Bright Em Up Glass Skin Bright Serum Lotion also contains contains Acetyl Glucosamine and Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. 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 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, could deliver additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Quickfx Bright Em Up Glass Skin Bright Serum Lotion is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Niacinamide (est. ≈3.0%).

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.
