Review

Results you may expect from using Rawquest Echinacea Calming Moisture Toner:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Rawquest Echinacea Calming Moisture Toner:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.2 out of 10.
  • Considerable anti-wrinkle efficacy: Rawquest Echinacea Calming Moisture Toner has an anti-wrinkle rating of 5.4 out of 10, indicating a moderate ability to reduce wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Rawquest Echinacea Calming Moisture Toner has a moisturizing rating of 5.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.4 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈11.1%), Glycerin (est. ≈5.6%) and Niacinamide (est. ≈3.6%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Rawquest Echinacea Calming Moisture Toner has a moderate anti-wrinkle rating of 5.4 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈3.6%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, Rawquest Echinacea Calming Moisture Toner also contains Adenosine, an ingredient 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, 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 Rawquest Echinacea Calming Moisture Toner is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Echinacea Purpurea Extract (est. ≈40.5%) and Niacinamide (est. ≈3.6%).

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.
