Product summary

Based on the ingredient list, "SCINIC - Hyaluronic Acid Cream" can work well for skin moisturization. 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. Humectants in this product (biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans and sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer) help to increase the water content in the upper layer of the skin. (These ingredients do so by "capturing" water molecules from the outside air or from within the deeper layers of the skin). Emollients in this formulation (c13-16 isoparaffin, vinyl dimethicone, dimethiconol, hydrogenated polydecene and pentylene glycol) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

Ingredient callouts

Actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (also known as Gotu Kola) - asiaticoside 0.05% - 0.20% and madecassoside 0.10% - 0.45% The Centella Asiatica Actives help strengthen and restore the skin barrier, decrease inflammation in skin and neutralize free radicals. They also can help to reduce scarring. The good news is that these actives work even in low concentrations.
An effective concentration of Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) - about 0.20% - 0.80%. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin barrier, improve hydration and reduce inflammation in skin.

What does the product description say?

Hyaluronic Acid Cream

Source: From product name

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: biosaccharide gum-1, glycerin.

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: dimethiconol, c13-16 isoparaffin.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: madecassoside

asiaticoside 0.05% - 0.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

An active compound of Centella Asiatica plant extract. In combination with other active compounds of Centella Asiatica extract (madecasosside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid), asiaticoside has been shown to be helpful in wound-healing, restoring skin barrier function and supporting collagen production in skin. It can, however, itself be irritating

c13-16 isoparaffin 2.8% - 4.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Is mostly used to dissolve other ingredients. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin. It might be comedogenic when used in high concentrations

glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.15% - 0.65%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: HIGH

Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and provide a longer-lasting hydration. Can create a thicker product consistency

Anti-aging

This product contains asiaticoside, centella asiatica leaf extract, madecassoside. 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.

centella asiatica leaf extract 1.7% - 2.5%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

A plant extract that has been shown to be able to reduce inflammation in skin, support restoration of skin barrier function, as well as support collagen production. It can be irritating to sensitive skin. Might be helpful in preventing stretch marks. It could, however, itself be irritating.

asiaticoside 0.05% - 0.2%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

madecassoside 0.1% - 0.45%

Irritation risk:

Concentration: Effectiveness: MEDIUM

An antioxidant that is typically derived from plant Centella Asiatica. It can help neutralize free radicals in skin and support skin barrier function. It could, however, itself be irritating. It is often unstable in formulations

Anti-oxidation

This product contains antioxidants (asiaticoside, madecassoside) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).

asiaticoside 0.05% - 0.2%
