Results you may expect from using Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Self Tanner:

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Self Tanner has a moisturizing rating of 2.2 out of 10.

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Self Tanner has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Gluconolactone and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. 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 generate 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 some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Suntegrity 5-in-1 Natural Self Tanner is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Vaccinium Angustifolium (Blueberry) Fruit Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (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.
