Review

Results you may expect from using Yon-Ka Phyto 58 PS:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Yon-Ka Phyto 58 PS:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.5 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Yon-Ka Phyto 58 PS has a moisturizing rating of 3.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a low humectancy of 1.6 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 5.4 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈6.0%) and Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Yon-Ka Phyto 58 PS has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.

It contains Retinyl Palmitate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Retinyl Palmitate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does 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, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Yon-Ka Phyto 58 PS is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract (est. ≈2.5%).

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.
