These are the key benefits you can expect from using CoverGirl Clean Fresh Hydrating Concealer:
 

Lightweight Moisturizer Suitable for Combination and Oily Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, CoverGirl Clean Fresh Hydrating Concealer is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.4 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 2.8 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 4.0 out of 10, entirely due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%).

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

A Humectant Add-on for Any Skincare Routine

But it’s not limited to combination and oily skin - since it contains a moderate amount of humectants, such a humectant add-on will also positively contribute to the moisturizing efficacy of any skincare routine when used as a step before applying the main moisturizer.

Mica
Est. %6
Function
Origin
MicaA mineral powder made up of silicates with several functions (the main one being as a colorant). It has a shimmery appearance, making it highly desirable in certain cosmetic products. Mica also helps the product to apply more smoothly.

Phenyl Trimethicone
Est. %3

Trimethylsiloxysilicate
Est. %2.5
Function
