Does Truly Hemp Oil Facial Serum work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Truly Hemp Oil Facial Serum:

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 7.3 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

Moisturizer with the right occlusivity for dry to very dry skin, ideally to be used with extra humectants

According to CreamScan analysis, Truly Hemp Oil Facial Serum is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 7.3 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 4.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%), and a maximum occlusivity of 10 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈50.0%) and Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (est. ≈22.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, can deliver an exceptional level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry to very dry skin. The occlusive profile of Truly Hemp Oil Facial Serum suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

However, it contains a moderate level of humectants, and people with dry skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

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

Questionable anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Truly Hemp Oil Facial Serum has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains some ingredients often marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles, specifically Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Retinyl Palmitate, and Melia Azadirachta Leaf Extract. 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 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, can deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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

Rich in skin-protecting antioxidants

We estimate that Truly Hemp Oil Facial Serum is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Spirulina Platensis Extract (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.
