Does Tanologist Gradual Oil Self Tan Overnight Treatment work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Tanologist Gradual Oil Self Tan Overnight Treatment:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 2.5 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Tanologist Gradual Oil Self Tan Overnight Treatment has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.1 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.

Basic moisturizer for oily skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Tanologist Gradual Oil Self Tan Overnight Treatment is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 2.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.8 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 4.2 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propanediol (est. ≈3.0%).

This product, when used alone as a moisturizer, can provide light humectant hydration in a fast-absorbing formula with a minimal amount of occlusive ingredients. This could work for people with oily skin who need a basic level of hydration.

Since it contains a moderate amount of humectants, it can also positively contribute to the moisturizing efficacy of any skincare routine when used as a step before applying the main moisturizer.

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

Little anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Tanologist Gradual Oil Self Tan Overnight Treatment has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.1 out of 10.

It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Ascorbic Acid (est. ≈0.3%), 
 or Vitamin C, a popular ingredient, yet with moderate anti-wrinkle efficacy, as confirmed by a single clinical study involving 20 participants (Humbert et al.). This study showed that a cream with a relatively high concentration of 5% ascorbic acid reduced the average wrinkle depth by 7% after 6 months of use, compared to a vehicle (the same formulation without ascorbic acid).
 
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.

Water
Est. %6
Function

Function
Origin
PropanediolAn excellent solvent capable of mixing water with normally water-insoluble ingredients. It also functions as a humectant due to its water-loving alcohol groups. Propanediol can control the viscosity of a product by reducing its thickness.
Octyldodeceth-25
