Review

Results you may expect from using Sidmool Ultra Facial Moisturizing Lotion:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Sidmool Ultra Facial Moisturizing Lotion:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.1 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Sidmool Ultra Facial Moisturizing Lotion has an anti-wrinkle rating of 1.5 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.
  • Soothing: Sidmool Ultra Facial Moisturizing Lotion 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: Sidmool Ultra Facial Moisturizing Lotion has a moisturizing rating of 5.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.2 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈9.0%), Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈2.5%) and Sodium PCA (est. ≈2.4%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Sidmool Ultra Facial Moisturizing Lotion has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 1.5 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈1.0%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, Sidmool Ultra Facial Moisturizing Lotion also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Beta-Glucan, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, and Centella Asiatica Extract. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do 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.
 

Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Sidmool Ultra Facial Moisturizing Lotion is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈2.5%), Beta-Glucan (est. ≈2.3%) and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈2.2%).

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, Sidmool Ultra Facial Moisturizing Lotion is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Beta-Glucan (est. ≈2.3%) and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈2.2%).

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.
