Key Benefits of Sativa Day Face Cream No.33 Oily Sensitive Skin

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Sativa Day Face Cream No.33 Oily Sensitive Skin:
 

Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Normal Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Sativa Day Face Cream No.33 Oily Sensitive Skin is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 4.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a low humectancy of 2.4 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 5.9 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%), Theobroma Grandiflorum Seed Butter (est. ≈2.5%) and Nigella Sativa Seed Oil (est. ≈2.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide some occlusive moisturizing that is adequate for normal skin.

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

Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that Sativa Day Face Cream No.33 Oily Sensitive Skin is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

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.

Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our AI model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: Sativa Day Face Cream No.33 Oily Sensitive Skin

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Sativa Day Face Cream No.33 Oily Sensitive Skin to your skincare routine:
 

If It’s Your Only Moisturizer, It’s Better When Paired with Some Humectants

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while Sativa Day Face Cream No.33 Oily Sensitive Skin contains a relatively low level of humectants.

People with normal 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.
