How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Urban Veda Peptide-30 Radiance Recovery Night Cream has a moisturizing rating of 4.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 6.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.2 out of 10, entirely due to the significant content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈4.0%) and Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Urban Veda Peptide-30 Radiance Recovery Night Cream is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Curcuma Longa (Turmeric) Root Extract (est. ≈1.3%), Lycium Chinense Fruit Extract (est. ≈1.0%), Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract (est. ≈0.3%), 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.
