Does Yon-Ka Phyto-Contour work?

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

  • Significant moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 6.6 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Yon-Ka Phyto-Contour contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.
  • Antioxidant protection.

Lightweight moisturizer perfect for oily to normal skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Yon-Ka Phyto-Contour is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 6.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, entirely due to the substantial concentration of Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈9.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.3 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Tocopherol (est. ≈4.0%) and Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil (est. ≈2.0%).

This type of moisturizer is ideal for people with oily skin who want maximum hydration in a relatively lightweight, non-greasy formula. It combines a significant amount of humectants with a limited amount of occlusive ingredients to boost moisturizing efficacy without feeling too heavy.

This product may also be a good choice for people with normal skin who prefer fast-absorbing textures, as it balances significant moisturizing potential with a relatively lightweight texture.

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

Rich in skin-protecting antioxidants

We estimate that Yon-Ka Phyto-Contour is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈9.0%), Tocopherol (est. ≈4.0%) and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil (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.

Skin soothing and calming potential

Based on the ingredient list analysis, Yon-Ka Phyto-Contour is rich (> 5%) in soothing ingredients, particularly Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈9.0%).

When applied to the skin, compounds of soothing ingredients, such as triglycerides, phospholipids, fatty acids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants, work together to soothe the skin through various mechanisms: reducing inflammation, promoting wound healing, repairing the skin barrier, and providing antimicrobial and antioxidant activities.
