Results you may expect from using Truly Body Star Perfecting Cream:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Truly Body Star Perfecting Cream:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.8 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Truly Body Star Perfecting Cream has a moisturizing rating of 5.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 2.5 out of 10 and a very high Occlusivity of 9.0 out of 10, due to the high content of Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil (est. ≈9.0%), Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%) and Stearic Acid (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Truly Body Star Perfecting Cream has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract 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.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Truly Body Star Perfecting Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

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.
