Overview

How moisturizing is it? Quite moisturizing. Derm Institute Cellular Brightening Bio-Crystal Masque has a moisturizing rating of 4.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has a very high Humectancy of 9.1 out of 10 and zero Occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusives on the ingredient list).
Tip: Studies suggest that humectants alone do not moisturize the skin. We recommend applying a product with some occlusive ingredients after the use of this one.

What else is good about it? Derm Institute Cellular Brightening Bio-Crystal Masque is rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants are believed to reduce the oxidative stress caused by free radicals, thus preventing accelerated skin aging.
