Review

Results you may expect from using Round Lab Baby Mild Soothing Gel:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Round Lab Baby Mild Soothing Gel:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.3 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Round Lab Baby Mild Soothing Gel has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Round Lab Baby Mild Soothing Gel 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 Butylene Glycol (est. ≈7.5%), Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%) and Panthenol (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Round Lab Baby Mild Soothing Gel 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, Round Lab Baby Mild Soothing Gel also contains Beta-Glucan, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Beta-Glucan 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.
