Does SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.8 out of 10.
  • Some anti-wrinkle efficacy: SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream has an anti-wrinkle rating of 3.9 out of 10 so you may expect some, although limited, effect on wrinkles.
  • Soothing: SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

Lightweight moisturizer perfect for oily to normal skin

According to CreamScan analysis, SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 6.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈7.7%) and Niacinamide (est. ≈2.6%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.5 out of 10, entirely due to the high content of Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate (est. ≈3.8%) and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈3.2%).

This type of moisturizer is ideal for people with oily skin who want maximum hydration in a relatively lightweight, non-greasy formula. It combines a significant amount of humectants with a limited amount of occlusive ingredients to boost moisturizing efficacy without feeling too heavy.

This product may also be a good choice for people with normal skin who prefer fast-absorbing textures, as it balances significant moisturizing potential with a relatively lightweight texture.

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

Some anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream has a slight anti-wrinkle rating of 3.9 out of 10.

It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈2.6%), 
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients. A clinical study involving 30 participants (Kawada et al.) confirmed that a cream with 4% niacinamide reduced the average depth of wrinkles around the eyes by 9% after 8 weeks of use, compared to a vehicle (the same formulation without niacinamide).
 
Among others, SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream also contains some ingredients often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Centella Asiatica Extract, Adenosine, Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, and Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf 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, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.
 

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

Rich in skin-protecting antioxidants

We estimate that SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈50.0%) and Niacinamide (est. ≈2.6%).

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 and calming potential

Based on the ingredient list analysis, SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈50.0%) and Niacinamide (est. ≈2.6%).

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.

Cetearyl Alcohol
Est. %1.9
Function

Est. %1
Function
Origin
Polyglyceryl-2 Stearate
Butylene Glycol
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Butylene Glycol

Sorbitol
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Tromethamine
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
TromethamineAn ingredient based on amino acids that is commonly used as a pH adjuster. It has a high pH, which means that it is basic (alkaline), so adding tromethamine to a skincare product will increase its overall pH level.
Polyglyceryl-3 Distearate

Glyceryl Stearate Citrate
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Glyceryl Stearate CitrateAn ingredient composed of citric acid, stearic acid, and glycerin. Glyceryl stearate citrate acts as an emollient in skincare products, making the skin appear smooth and pleasant to the touch.
Adenosine
Est. %0.3
Function
