Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Normal to Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Jason Wu Beauty Good Night Mr. Wu is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 0.3 out of 10 and a high Occlusivity of 7.4 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Mineral Oil (est. ≈6.0%), Paraffin (est. ≈3.0%) and Copernicia Cerifera (Carnauba) 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 Jason Wu Beauty Good Night Mr. Wu 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.
