How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Revaleskin HydraLift Complex has a moisturizing rating of 4.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.3 out of 10 and a very high humectancy of 8.9 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%) and Pentylene Glycol (est. ≈2.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Revaleskin HydraLift Complex has a high anti-wrinkle rating of 7.5 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Retinol (est. ≈0.3%),
 the most effective non-prescription ingredient with well-proven efficacy to reduce wrinkles.
 
Among others, Revaleskin HydraLift Complex also contains contains Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate 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 contribute to the anti-wrinkle rating.
 

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Revaleskin HydraLift Complex is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Chlorogenic Acids (est. ≈0.3%), Tocopherol (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.
