Key Benefits of Biore Hydrate & Glow Moisturizer

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Biore Hydrate & Glow Moisturizer:
 

🔵🔵 Perfect Moisturizer for Normal to Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Biore Hydrate & Glow Moisturizer is intensely moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 8.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a very high humectancy of 9.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈9.0%), and a high occlusivity of 7.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Glycol Distearate (est. ≈6.0%) and Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (est. ≈4.0%).

This type of moisturizer is ideal for people with normal skin who want intense hydration in a rich yet not overly thick formula. It combines a high concentration of humectants with a significant amount of occlusive ingredients to provide effective dual-action moisturizing.

The product’s occlusive profile suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.

This product may also be a good choice for people with dry (but not very dry) skin for daily hydration, as it strikes a balance between significant moisturizing potential and a texture that is not too thick.

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

🍀 Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that Biore Hydrate & Glow Moisturizer is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil (est. ≈4.0%).

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.

📌 Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.
