  • Hamamelis virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Water : Analyzed in the eye contour of Nezeni Cosmetics .
  • Glycerin : Tested in Clarins Men’s Anti-Wrinkle Cream .
  • Mandelic Acid : Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) made from the extract of bitter almonds. Its antibacterial and AHA properties make it an ideal ingredient for skin care products. Mandelic acid has larger molecules than most of its AHA counterparts; therefore, it is less irritating to the skin, but can offer the same anti-aging benefits: accelerated rate of cell renewal, removal of dead skin cells, and increased collagen production. Its antibacterial properties make it also serve as an effective acne treatment. Like AHAs, caution should be exercised when using and exposed to the sun. Sunscreen should always be used, ideally with an SPF of 30 or higher.
  • Cetearyl Alcohol : Analyzed in the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye contour .
  • Caprylic / Capric Triglyceride : Tested in Clarins Men’s wrinkle cream as Caprylic / capric glycerides.
  • Cetyl Ricinoleate : A fatty acid made from castor oil, a vegetable oil obtained from the seeds of the castor plant communis. Also known by its trade name Naturechem CR. It works as a conditioner, stabilizer and film former in cosmetic formulations. It is known to provide light, non-greasy and silky hydration to the skin. It is considered a non-comedogenic emollient that does not clog pores.
  • Methylpropanediol : Analyzed in Caudalíe’s Premier Cru serum .
  • Theobroma cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter : Cocoa butter temporarily protects injured or exposed skin from harmful or bothersome stimuli, and can provide soothing to the skin. It also slows the loss of water from the skin by forming a barrier on the skin’s surface.
  • Triethanolamine : Analyzed in LOreal’s Vita Lift 5 anti-wrinkle cream .
  • Tridecyl Stearate : Tested in Isdin AGE Reverse Cream .
  • Cyclopentasiloxane : Analyzed in LOreal’s Vita Lift 5 anti-wrinkle cream .
  • Cetearyl Glucoside : Analyzed in the Decléor Harmonie Calm eye contour .
  • Glyceryl Stearate : Analyzed in the Fiori di Cipria men’s anti-wrinkle cream .
  • Methyl Gluceth-10 : A water soluble emollient and humectant produced from Glucose and Methyl Alcohol and originally derived from corn sugar and cornstarch. It is a versatile, soft and effective moisturizing, emollient and foaming agent that imparts a soft sensation to the skin. It is used specifically for its moisture-retaining qualities and its ability to open pores and follicles.

  • Propylene Glycol : Tested in the L’Oreal Revitalift Laser X3 eye contour .
  • Ferulic Acid : Ferulic acid is found in the cell walls of plants such as wheat, rice, peanuts, oranges, and apples. It seems to be particularly abundant in coffee and amaranth. It is an antioxidant that can seek out and destroy several different types of free radicals: superoxide, hydroxyl radical, and nitric oxide. A 2004 Italian study concluded that ferulic acid is a more powerful antioxidant than alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), beta-carotene, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C). It works synergistically with other antioxidants and makes vitamins more powerful. Other studies find it particularly good at preventing sun damage, and exposure to ultraviolet light actually increases the antioxidant power of ferulic acid.

  • Tocopheryl Acetate : Analyzed in Clarins Men’s Anti-Wrinkle Cream as Tocopherol Acetate.

Summary analysis Antiaging Repair Treatment Summum RX Cumlaude Cream

It is a pity that with the very good active ingredients that the cream has, they are in such a small proportion. At the top there is only one AHA present, which I do not know if it will irritate the most sensitive skin too much.

Instead, antioxidants, hyaluronic acid, anti-inflammatories, calming agents, vitamin C, and neuropeptide are at the bottom of the list.

It has a ton of filler ingredients: emollients, lubricants, and conditioners; and I have also come across some irritant, sensitizer, a silicone and two PEGs.

In addition, there is the problem of Sodium Benzoate, which in the presence of vitamin C produces benzene, a dangerous carcinogen.

The truth is that they could have gotten more out of it by rearranging the ingredients (and eliminating some). As I value my skin and my health too much, I will reject this cream.

Alternative

It is clear that if you want an anti-wrinkle cream that is effective, and that does not cause health problems in the past, the best option is the Nezeni Cosmetics cream.

Its INCI is a clear example of what should be the proper proportions in a formula, and the ingredients that should not appear.
