Review

Results you may expect from using Truly Cream Skin Facial Moisturizer:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Truly Cream Skin Facial Moisturizer:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.3 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Highly moisturizing: Truly Cream Skin Facial Moisturizer has a moisturizing rating of 6.3 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 3.4 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈2.5%), and a very high occlusivity of 9.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil (est. ≈9.0%) and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Truly Cream Skin Facial Moisturizer has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Gluconolactone, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Gluconolactone 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 Cream Skin Facial Moisturizer 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.
