Review

Results you may expect from using The Plant Base Time Stop Collagen Ampoule:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using The Plant Base Time Stop Collagen Ampoule:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.1 out of 10.
  • Soothing: The Plant Base Time Stop Collagen Ampoule contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: The Plant Base Time Stop Collagen Ampoule has a moisturizing rating of 5.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.2 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Portulaca Oleracea Extract (est. ≈76.0%) and Butylene Glycol (est. ≈3.6%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, The Plant Base Time Stop Collagen Ampoule has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Beta-Glucan, Centella Asiatica Extract, Adenosine, Retinyl Palmitate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate. 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 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 The Plant Base Time Stop Collagen Ampoule is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Portulaca Oleracea Extract (est. ≈76.0%).

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.

Skin soothing

Based on the ingredient list analysis, The Plant Base Time Stop Collagen Ampoule is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Portulaca Oleracea Extract (est. ≈76.0%).

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.

A key molecule responsible for energy transportation, signaling, and enzyme activity. Adenosine is a popular anti-wrinkle ingredient, however, the key study about its anti-wrinkle efficacy (1) does not meet CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards as it is not double-blind.

Caramel
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
CaramelA natural ingredient that is derived from the heat treatment of table sugar. Caramel is used in skincare as a natural colorant that can create transparent, dark brown solutions. It also works as a fragrance, where it provides a sweet, sugary scent.

Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5

A small synthetic peptide that signals the skin to produce more collagen. It has been clinically tested and proven to reduce skin roughness and the appearance of wrinkles.

Pantolactone
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Origin
PolyacrylamideA synthetic ingredient that can thicken products instantly while still keeping them light and often gel-like.
Hydrogenated Lecithin
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Function
Origin
PEG-5 Rapeseed SterolDescription is coming soon
Tromethamine
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin

Carbomer
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
CarbomerA synthetic ingredient with the ability to gel water. When used in emulsions, such as lotions and creams, carbomer can also act as an emulsion stabilizer.
Ceteth-5

Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
Ceteth-3Description is coming soon
Tocopheryl Acetate
Est. %0.3
Function
Origin
