Key Benefits of Skin Regimen 1.5 Retinol Booster Wrinkle Concentrate

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Skin Regimen 1.5 Retinol Booster Wrinkle Concentrate:
 

🔵🔵 Well-Suited Moisturizer for Normal Skin with a Balanced Texture, Neither Too Light nor Too Heavy

According to CreamScan analysis, Skin Regimen 1.5 Retinol Booster Wrinkle Concentrate is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 5.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 6.9 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.0 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈4.0%) and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈3.0%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with normal skin who want significant hydration in a formula with a balanced texture - neither too light nor too heavy. It combines a high concentration of humectants with a moderate amount of occlusive ingredients to deliver effective dual-action moisturizing for normal skin.

🟣 Modest Anti-Wrinkle Efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Skin Regimen 1.5 Retinol Booster Wrinkle Concentrate has a modest level of anti-wrinkle efficacy, rated 2.5 out of 10.

It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Retinol (est. ≈0.1%),
 the most effective non-prescription anti-wrinkle ingredient. Numerous clinical studies have shown its positive effects at concentrations as low as 0.1%. A study with 36 participants (Kafi et al.) confirmed that a lotion containing 0.4% retinol reduced wrinkle severity by 21% after 24 weeks of use, compared to the same formulation without retinol (vehicle).
 
📌 Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, can deliver some additional anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

Things to Be Aware Of: Skin Regimen 1.5 Retinol Booster Wrinkle Concentrate

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Skin Regimen 1.5 Retinol Booster Wrinkle Concentrate to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ May Increase Skin Photosensitivity Due to Retinol

This product contains retinol, which offers powerful anti-wrinkle benefits. The mechanism behind retinol’s action is boosting cell turnover. This process exposes new, more delicate skin, making it more vulnerable to sun damage.

As a result, using products with retinol may increase the skin's sensitivity, making it more prone to sunburn or irritation when exposed to UV rays.

To protect the skin, dermatologists recommend applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 throughout the duration of retinol treatment, along with avoiding direct sun exposure. Retinol should be used at night, as it is sensitive to sunlight and can lose its potency when exposed to UV rays.

❗️Please always check the manufacturer's instructions for using the retinol-containing products, either on their website or product label.

That said, there are some things about Skin Regimen 1.5 Retinol Booster Wrinkle Concentrate worth noting.
 
This product contains retinol, the most powerful and well-researched non-prescription anti-wrinkle ingredient.
