Review

Results you may expect from using Revive Defensif Environment Antioxidant Booster:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Revive Defensif Environment Antioxidant Booster:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.3 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Revive Defensif Environment Antioxidant Booster has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Revive Defensif Environment Antioxidant Booster has a moisturizing rating of 5.3 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.6 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propanediol (est. ≈6.0%), Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%) and Yeast Extract (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Revive Defensif Environment Antioxidant Booster has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Ectoin (est. ≈0.3%),
an amino acid-derived ingredient with average, yet proven by one study, anti-wrinkle efficacy.
Among others, Revive Defensif Environment Antioxidant Booster also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Saccharomyces/Copper Ferment, Saccharomyces/Zinc Ferment, Retinyl Palmitate, and Ascorbyl Palmitate. 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 Revive Defensif Environment Antioxidant Booster is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Salvia Officinalis (Sage) Leaf Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

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.
