Review

Results you may expect from using Revaleskin Brightening Complex:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Revaleskin Brightening Complex:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.0 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Revaleskin Brightening Complex has a moisturizing rating of 7.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 5.9 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Pentylene Glycol (est. ≈2.0%), and a very high occlusivity of 8.0 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈9.0%) and Behenyl Behenate (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Revaleskin Brightening Complex has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, 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 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 Revaleskin Brightening Complex is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (est. ≈0.3%), Chlorogenic Acids (est. ≈0.3%), Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (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.
