MoisturizingCeramide eop, Ceramide ap + 13 moreStrong evidence
“Create younger-looking skin from head to toe with Neocutis Micro Body Rejuvenating Cream , an anti-aging moisturizer that helps to improve tone and texture.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, dimethicone.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: ceramide ap, ceramide eop, ceramide np, palmitoyl tripeptide-1 acetate, petrolatum, phytosphingosine, tetrapeptide-21
ExfoliationSalicylic acidStrong evidence
“Salicylic Acid provides gentle exfoliation to sweep away dead cells and dry skin.”
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: salicylic acid.
Anti-agingTetrapeptide-21, Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 acetateModerate evidence
“Create younger-looking skin from head to toe with Neocutis Micro Body Rejuvenating Cream , an anti-aging moisturizer that helps to improve tone and texture.”
This product contains palmitoyl tripeptide-1 acetate, tetrapeptide-21. These ingredients might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
Evens skin toneSalicylic acidLimited evidence
“Create younger-looking skin from head to toe with Neocutis Micro Body Rejuvenating Cream , an anti-aging moisturizer that helps to improve tone and texture.”
This product might help improve the skin tone through exfoliation. In other words, it helps to speed up the shedding of cells from the upper layer of the skin, and this might help reduce hyperpigmentation.
Anti-blemishNot advertised by the brand · Salicylic acid, PhytosphingosineStrong evidence
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: salicylic acid. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.

Product summary
Based on the ingredients included, "Neocutis - Body Rejuvenating Cream" works well for moisturizing the skin. As we expect from a proper moisturizer, the formula includes a combo of effective humectants and emollients. These are the two different types of ingredients that are essential for improving the skin hydration and supporting a healthy skin barrier. Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Ceramide eop, ceramide np, phytosphingosine, petrolatum and cholesterol in this product help decrease the water evoporation from the skin, so that it stays hydrated for longer. These ingredients also soften the skin and take away the feeling of tightness and dryness.
Ingredient callouts
- Another benefit is that this moisturizer contain ceramides (phytosphingosine 0.35% - 0.80%, ceramide np 0.35% - 0.80%, ceramide eop 0.15% - 0.60% and ceramide ap 0.15% - 0.65%). Ceramides are an important part of our natural skin barrier. The ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or come from plants. They help soften the skin and can help "fill the gaps" in the skin barrier, keeping the skin hydrated and resilient for longer.
- We like that this moisturizer contains peptides (tetrapeptide-21 0.50% - 1.15% and palmitoyl tripeptide-1 acetate 0.35% - 0.85%). There are many different kind of peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of amino-acids. Some of them work as natural anti-biotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective peptides in skincare are, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. Peptides might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
