Key Benefits of CAY SKIN Deepwater Lip Mask

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using CAY SKIN Deepwater Lip Mask:
 

🔵🔵 Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Normal to Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, CAY SKIN Deepwater Lip Mask is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 1.2 out of 10 and a high Occlusivity of 6.0 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Dipentaerythrityl Tetrahydroxystearate/Tetraisostearate (est. ≈6.0%) and Synthetic Wax (est. ≈2.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide a significant level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for normal to dry skin.

The occlusive profile of CAY SKIN Deepwater Lip Mask 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.

CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding CAY SKIN Deepwater Lip Mask to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while CAY SKIN Deepwater Lip Mask contains a low level of humectants.

People with normal to dry 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.
