Key Benefits of The History of Whoo Cheongidan Radiant Rejuvenating Balancer

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using The History of Whoo Cheongidan Radiant Rejuvenating Balancer:
 

Slight Moisturizing When Used Alone

According to CreamScan analysis, The History of Whoo Cheongidan Radiant Rejuvenating Balancer is slightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 1.5 out of 10.

This type of product provides relatively light moisturizing on its own but can contribute to overall moisturizing efficacy when used as part of a skincare routine, alongside another moisturizer.

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

Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that The History of Whoo Cheongidan Radiant Rejuvenating Balancer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Nelumbo Nucifera Seed Extract (est. ≈6.0%) and Platycodon Grandiflorus Root Extract (est. ≈4.0%).

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.

Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our AI model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: The History of Whoo Cheongidan Radiant Rejuvenating Balancer

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding The History of Whoo Cheongidan Radiant Rejuvenating Balancer to your skincare routine:
 

As a Standalone Moisturizer, It Has Relatively Low Moisturizing Potential

If you use The History of Whoo Cheongidan Radiant Rejuvenating Balancer for moisturizing purposes, please keep in mind that it provides relatively light moisturizing on its own, and, more importantly, it’s not optimal for any skin type.

On one hand, it has low occlusivity, which suits oily and combination skin. On the other hand, it has a low estimated concentration of humectants, which are essential for effective moisturizing of all skin types, including oily skin.

Therefore, if used as a standalone moisturizer, this product should be paired with a humectant-rich moisturizer for optimal skin hydration.

Pros & Cons of The History of Whoo Cheongidan Radiant Rejuvenating Balancer

 
Here’s an overview of the pros and cons of The History of Whoo Cheongidan Radiant Rejuvenating Balancer to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your skincare routine:
 

Pros:

  • Provides relatively light moisturizing on its own but can contribute to the moisturizing efficacy of any skincare routine
  • Rich in antioxidants that combat oxidative stress associated with accelerated skin aging and defend against environmental damage

Cons: 

  • Minimal moisturizing efficacy, even for oily skin - something to keep in mind if this is the only moisturizer in your routine.
