How moisturizing is it?

Intensely moisturizing: Sisley Paris Phyto-Blanc Brightening Protective Moisturizer has a moisturizing rating of 8.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a very high humectancy of 9.1 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%) and Niacinamide (est. ≈2.0%), and a high occlusivity of 7.0 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈9.0%) and Caprylyl Methicone (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Sisley Paris Phyto-Blanc Brightening Protective Moisturizer has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 3.0 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈2.0%), 
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
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 Sisley Paris Phyto-Blanc Brightening Protective Moisturizer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Niacinamide (est. ≈2.0%).

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.
