Review

Results you may expect from using UltraLuxe Anti-Aging Rejuvenating Serum:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using UltraLuxe Anti-Aging Rejuvenating Serum:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.1 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: UltraLuxe Anti-Aging Rejuvenating Serum has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.2 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: UltraLuxe Anti-Aging Rejuvenating Serum has a moisturizing rating of 5.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 0.2 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, UltraLuxe Anti-Aging Rejuvenating Serum has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.2 out of 10.

It contains 2 active ingredients with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy:
    • Glycolic Acid (est. ≈0.3%),
       highly effective in peelings, yet with below-average anti-wrinkle efficacy when used in leave-on skincare products.
    • Ascorbic Acid (est. ≈0.3%),
       or Vitamin C, a popular anti-wrinkle ingredient, yet with average efficacy confirmed by only one study.
Among others, UltraLuxe Anti-Aging Rejuvenating Serum also contains Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not contribute to 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 additional anti-wrinkle efficacy through its moisturizing action.
 

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that UltraLuxe Anti-Aging Rejuvenating Serum is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Hydrolyzed Elastin (est. ≈1.5%), Malus Domestica Fruit Cell Culture Extract (est. ≈1.3%), Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈1.0%), and others.

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.
