Does Boderm Pharmaceutical Tazarene Cream 0.1% work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Boderm Pharmaceutical Tazarene Cream 0.1%:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.6 out of 10.
  • Soothing: Boderm Pharmaceutical Tazarene Cream 0.1% contains a high concentration of soothing ingredients, which may help to reduce irritation and calm the skin.

Lightweight moisturizer well-suited for oily to normal skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Boderm Pharmaceutical Tazarene Cream 0.1% is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 5.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 7.9 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Panthenol (est. ≈6.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈4.0%).

This type of moisturizer is well-suited for people with oily skin who want significant hydration in a relatively lightweight, non-greasy formula. It combines a substantial amount of humectants with a limited amount of occlusive to enhance moisturizing efficacy without feeling too heavy.

This product may also be an option for people with normal skin who prefer fast-absorbing textures, as it balances moderate moisturizing potential with a relatively lightweight texture.

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