Our take
Is Cereus Grandiflorus (Cactus) Flower Extract a Good Ingredient?
Clinical evidence for distinct topical benefits is limited; as a botanical, it also carries some risk of irritation or allergy for sensitive individuals. That combination of thin evidence and irritation potential is why it rates Fair, not Good.
What it does
Skin Benefits
May help calm the look of temporary redness and support surface hydration; current evidence is limited and results can vary. Offers a gentle, refreshing feel on application.
Where you'll find it

Included in toners, lightweight essences, and hydrating serums for a dewy skin feel. Often featured in formulas that feature desert-plant botanicals for a sensorial boost.
Before you use it
