Key Benefits of REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream:
 

🔵🔵 Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Normal to Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 5.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 3.1 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈2.5%), and a high occlusivity of 7.4 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Camellia Oleifera Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%) and Myristyl Myristate (est. ≈3.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide a significant level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for normal to dry skin.

The occlusive profile of REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.

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

📌 Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream

 
CreamScan identified a few things to consider before adding REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream contains a relatively low level of humectants.

People with normal to dry skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

⚠️ Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

If one of your main reasons for choosing REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, it currently has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Copper Gluconate, an ingredient often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Copper Gluconate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.

While this does not categorically rule out the possibility that Copper Gluconate may reduce wrinkles, its efficacy is not supported by convincing, vehicle-controlled, double-blind clinical studies - at least none that were available to the CreamScan team at the time of publication.

Therefore, this ingredient does 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, 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.

Pros & Cons of REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream

 
Here’s an overview of the pros and cons of REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your skincare routine:
 

🟩 Pros:

Provides the right level of occlusivity to moisturize normal to dry skin
Rich and creamy texture without being overly thick
 

⭕ Cons: 

⚠️ Only if used as a standalone moisturizer - needs to be paired with extra humectants for optimal moisturizing efficacy
⚠️ Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy
   

Summary: REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream

 
Based on the ingredient list analysis, CreamScan AI suggests that REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream
, as a moisturizer, provides an adequate level of occlusivity for normal to dry skin, delivered in a rich yet not overly thick formula.
 
That said, there are some things about REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream worth noting.
 
If you use this product as your only moisturizer in a routine, please note that it contains a limited amount of humectants. Regardless of your skin type, adding extra humectants can enhance optimal moisturizing efficacy. Therefore, it may be worth pairing REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream with a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.
 
If one of your main reasons for considering REN Clean Skincare Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Moisturising Cream is its potential anti-aging effects, please note that, according to CreamScan analysis, its anti-wrinkle efficacy is questionable. None of the ingredients in this product provide substantial evidence of their anti-wrinkle efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards.
