Does Saint Jane Beauty Radiance Refresh Antioxidant Serum work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Saint Jane Beauty Radiance Refresh Antioxidant Serum:

  • Strong occlusive moisturizing. This exceptionally occlusive moisturizer, ideal for dry and very dry skin, has a moderate moisturizing rating of 5.2 out of 10, impaired by the lack of humectants.
  • Antioxidant protection.

Moisturizer with the right occlusivity for dry to very dry skin, ideally to be used with extra humectants

According to CreamScan analysis, Saint Jane Beauty Radiance Refresh Antioxidant Serum is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 5.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 0.3 out of 10 and a maximum Occlusivity of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈45.0%), Crambe Abyssinica Seed Oil (est. ≈22.0%) and Citrullus Lanatus (Watermelon) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, can deliver an exceptional level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry to very skin. The occlusive profile of Saint Jane Beauty Radiance Refresh Antioxidant Serum suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

However, it contains a low level of humectants, and people with 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.

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

Rich in skin-protecting antioxidants

We estimate that Saint Jane Beauty Radiance Refresh Antioxidant Serum is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Tocopherol (est. ≈1.5%), Punica Granatum Seed Extract (est. ≈1.0%), Rosa Damascena Flower Oil (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.
