If this is the only moisturizer that you apply at a time, check out our suggestions for different skin types:
Oily and combination skin: Moisturizing rating of 2 - 6 with high Humectancy and low Occlusivity
Normal skin: Moisturizing rating of 4 - 7 with high Humectancy and moderate Occlusivity
Dry skin: Moisturizing rating of 7 - 10 with high Humectancy and high Occlusivity

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Chanel Body Excellence:
Highly moisturizing: Chanel Body Excellence has a moisturizing rating of 6.4 out of 10.
Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a very high humectancy of 8.5 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 4.2 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈4.0%) and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈2.5%).
Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.

According to various studies, a formula made up of 10% humectants will significantly increase skin hydration. Some studies also suggest that any further icrease in the consentration of humectants does not translate inty any more hydration and may even be dehydrating.
To achieve maximum Humectancy, the product should have humectants with a total score of 10 and more.

The most occlusive product possible is 100% petrolatum (hello Vaseline Jelly). According to studies, however, even 10% petrolatum can achieve almost the same mosturizing effect.
The occlusive properties of petrolatum are at least twice as superior as other occlusive ingredients. This is why, in order to match the moisturizing efficacy of 10% petrolatum, a product needs to contain at least 20% of other occlusives.
Our benchmark for maximum Occlusivity is 20 (and the petrolatum score is always doubled).
