Review

Results you may expect from using V&A Beauty Scented Body Lotion [Herbaceous Petal]:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using V&A Beauty Scented Body Lotion [Herbaceous Petal]:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.8 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: V&A Beauty Scented Body Lotion [Herbaceous Petal] has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: V&A Beauty Scented Body Lotion [Herbaceous Petal] has a moisturizing rating of 5.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.5 out of 10 and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈9.0%) and Propanediol (est. ≈6.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, V&A Beauty Scented Body Lotion [Herbaceous Petal] has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.4 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Ectoin (est. ≈0.3%),
 an amino acid-derived ingredient with average, yet proven by one study, anti-wrinkle efficacy.
 
Among others, V&A Beauty Scented Body Lotion [Herbaceous Petal] also contains Centella Asiatica Extract, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Centella Asiatica 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 V&A Beauty Scented Body Lotion [Herbaceous Petal] is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Centella Asiatica Extract (est. ≈1.0%), Nelumbium Speciosum Flower Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit 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.
