Review

Results you may expect from using Sensai Cellular Performance Extra Intensive Mask:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Sensai Cellular Performance Extra Intensive Mask:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.7 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Sensai Cellular Performance Extra Intensive Mask 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?

Highly moisturizing: Sensai Cellular Performance Extra Intensive Mask has a moisturizing rating of 6.7 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Sorbitol (est. ≈6.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.4 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Squalane (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Sensai Cellular Performance Extra Intensive Mask has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈0.3%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, Sensai Cellular Performance Extra Intensive Mask also contains Acetyl Glucosamine, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Acetyl Glucosamine 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.
