Review

Results you may expect from using Vivier HYDRAGel Advanced B5 Plus Complex:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Vivier HYDRAGel Advanced B5 Plus Complex:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 2.5 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Vivier HYDRAGel Advanced B5 Plus Complex has a moisturizing rating of 2.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a moderate humectancy of 5.0 out of 10, primarily due to Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈1.5%), Hyaluronic Acid (est. ≈1.4%) and Caprylyl Glycol (est. ≈1.1%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Vivier HYDRAGel Advanced B5 Plus Complex is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Sodium Hyaluronate (est. ≈1.5%), Hyaluronic Acid (est. ≈1.4%) and Tropolone (est. ≈1.0%).

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.
