Review

Results you may expect from using SIRCUIT SKIN Dreamweaver Plus:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using SIRCUIT SKIN Dreamweaver Plus:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.6 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: SIRCUIT SKIN Dreamweaver Plus has a moisturizing rating of 7.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 5.1 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈9.0%) and Stearic Acid (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, SIRCUIT SKIN Dreamweaver Plus has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Retinyl Palmitate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Retinyl Palmitate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that SIRCUIT SKIN Dreamweaver Plus is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Ergothioneine (est. ≈1.0%), Gardenia Jasminoides Meristem Cell Culture (est. ≈0.3%), Saccharomyces/Xylinum/Black Tea Ferment (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.
