How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Garnier Hydrating Facial Mist with Aloe Juice has a moisturizing rating of 3.5 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a high humectancy of 7.0 out of 10, due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%) and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder (est. ≈3.0%).

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.

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