Does Youthforia Pregame Daily Protective Primer work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Youthforia Pregame Daily Protective Primer:

  • Light moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 3.2 out of 10.
  • Little anti-wrinkle effect: Youthforia Pregame Daily Protective Primer has an anti-wrinkle rating of 0.8 out of 10, so you may expect a positive, although insignificant, effect on wrinkles.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Youthforia Pregame Daily Protective Primer has a moisturizing rating of 3.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.5 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 4.9 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propanediol (est. ≈2.5%).

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

Anti-wrinkle efficacy

According to CreamScan analysis, Youthforia Pregame Daily Protective Primer has a minimal anti-wrinkle rating of 0.8 out of 10. It contains one ingredient with proven anti-wrinkle efficacy: Sodium Salicylate (est. ≈0.3%),
 a sodium salt of salicylic acid, with average anti-wrinkle efficacy confirmed by one study.
 
Among others, Youthforia Pregame Daily Protective Primer also contains contains Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, two ingredients marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of these ingredients provide insufficient evidence of efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, these ingredients do 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 Youthforia Pregame Daily Protective Primer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Capsicum Annuum Fruit Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Olea Europaea (Olive) Leaf Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem 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.
