Results you may expect from using SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Spot Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Spot Cream:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.3 out of 10.
  • Considerable anti-wrinkle efficacy: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Spot Cream has an anti-wrinkle rating of 5.2 out of 10, indicating a moderate ability to reduce wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Spot Cream has a moisturizing rating of 5.3 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.6 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈6.0%), Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%) and Ethoxydiglycol (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Spot Cream has a moderate anti-wrinkle rating of 5.2 out of 10.

It contains 2 active ingredients with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy:

  • Asiaticoside (est. ≈0.3%),
     derived from the plant Centella asiatica, an ingredient with moderate anti-wrinkle efficacy confirmed by one study.
  • Niacinamide (est. ≈1.5%),
     one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
Among others, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Spot Cream also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, Gluconolactone, and Centella Asiatica 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, 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 SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Spot Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Niacinamide (est. ≈1.5%), Asiaticoside (est. ≈0.3%), Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil (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.
