Review

Results you may expect from using Tree to Tub Niacinamide Peptide Complex Anti-Aging Serum:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Tree to Tub Niacinamide Peptide Complex Anti-Aging Serum:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Significant anti-wrinkle efficacy. With an anti-wrinkle rating of 6.0 out of 10, Tree to Tub Niacinamide Peptide Complex Anti-Aging Serum is effective in minimizing wrinkles.
  • Soothing: Tree to Tub Niacinamide Peptide Complex Anti-Aging Serum 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: Tree to Tub Niacinamide Peptide Complex Anti-Aging Serum has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), Niacinamide (est. ≈4.0%) and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Tree to Tub Niacinamide Peptide Complex Anti-Aging Serum has a high anti-wrinkle rating of 6.0 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Niacinamide (est. ≈4.0%),
 one of the most effective and well-researched anti-wrinkle ingredients.
 
Among others, Tree to Tub Niacinamide Peptide Complex Anti-Aging Serum also contains some ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, and Caffeine. 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.
 

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Tree to Tub Niacinamide Peptide Complex Anti-Aging Serum is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Niacinamide (est. ≈4.0%) and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

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, Tree to Tub Niacinamide Peptide Complex Anti-Aging Serum is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Niacinamide (est. ≈4.0%) and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (est. ≈2.0%).

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.
