Review

Results you may expect from using belif Pore Cleaner Moisturizer:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using belif Pore Cleaner Moisturizer:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: belif Pore Cleaner Moisturizer has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Butylene Glycol (est. ≈6.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%).

Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

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

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that belif Pore Cleaner Moisturizer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Citrus Unshiu Peel Extract (est. ≈1.0%), Rosa Canina Fruit Extract (est. ≈0.3%), Nepeta Cataria Extract (est. ≈0.3%), and others.

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.
