Does Amway Artistry Studio Hydro-Prime Light Hydrator + Primer work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Amway Artistry Studio Hydro-Prime Light Hydrator + Primer:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.0 out of 10.

Moisturizer with the right occlusivity for normal skin, ideally to be used with extra humectants

According to CreamScan analysis, Amway Artistry Studio Hydro-Prime Light Hydrator + Primer is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 4.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a low humectancy of 2.9 out of 10 and a moderate occlusivity of 5.0 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Dimethicone (est. ≈9.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide some occlusive moisturizing that is adequate for normal skin.

However, it contains a relatively low level of humectants, and people with normal skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

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