Review

Results you may expect from using SIRCUIT SKIN Fixzit Plus:

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

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.2 out of 10.
  • Some anti-wrinkle efficacy: SIRCUIT SKIN Fixzit Plus has an anti-wrinkle rating of 2.5 out of 10 so you may expect some, although limited, effect on wrinkles.
  • Soothing: SIRCUIT SKIN Fixzit Plus contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: SIRCUIT SKIN Fixzit Plus has a moisturizing rating of 3.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a high humectancy of 6.3 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%).

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.

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, SIRCUIT SKIN Fixzit Plus has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 2.5 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Retinol (est. ≈0.1%), 
 the most effective non-prescription ingredient with well-proven efficacy to reduce wrinkles.
 
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.
