Does Shua Ireh Pure Calming Ampoule Pad work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Shua Ireh Pure Calming Ampoule Pad:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Shua Ireh Pure Calming Ampoule Pad contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Shua Ireh Pure Calming Ampoule Pad has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%) and Panthenol (est. ≈3.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Shua Ireh Pure Calming Ampoule Pad is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Bambusa Vulgaris Water (est. ≈75.0%).

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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Shua Ireh Pure Calming Ampoule Pad is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Panthenol (est. ≈3.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
