Does Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque Work?

Key Benefits of Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque:
 

Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Normal Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.9 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a moderate humectancy of 3.0 out of 10, solely because of the high content of Propylene Glycol (est. ≈3.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.8 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Zea Mays (Corn) Germ Oil (est. ≈6.0%) and Beeswax (est. ≈2.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide some occlusive moisturizing that is adequate for normal skin.

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

Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Glycine Soja (Soybean) Oil (est. ≈1.3%), Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil (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.

Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our AI model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque to your skincare routine:
 

Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque contains a relatively low level of humectants.

People with normal skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

Pros & Cons of Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque

 
Here’s an overview of the pros and cons of Yon-Ka SENSITIVE Masque to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your skincare routine:
 

Pros:

  • Provides the right level of occlusivity to moisturize normal skin
  • Balanced texture, neither too light nor too heavy
  • Rich in antioxidants that combat oxidative stress associated with accelerated skin aging and defend against environmental damage

Cons: 

  • Ideally needs to be paired with extra humectants for optimal moisturizing efficacy
