Results you may expect from using This Works Perfect Legs Skin Miracle:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using This Works Perfect Legs Skin Miracle:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.2 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: This Works Perfect Legs Skin Miracle has a moisturizing rating of 4.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 2.6 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 5.7 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, This Works Perfect Legs Skin Miracle has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does 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.

Ingredients explained

Water
Est. %65
Function
Origin
The most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients.
Dicaprylyl Carbonate
Est. %6
Function
Origin
A very fast-spreading emollient that gives a product an incredibly lightweight feel. Dicaprylyl carbonate works well as a solvent for suspending insoluble solids such as mineral sunscreens or iron oxide pigments.
