Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using L'Occitane Aqua Reotier Moisture Prep Essence:
Quite moisturizing: L'Occitane Aqua Reotier Moisture Prep Essence has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.
Is it more humectant or occlusive? It is purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, due to the high content of Propanediol (est. ≈6.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈4.0%).
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.

87 | Water The most used ingredient in skincare. Its concentration defines the product texture: rich creams may have about 50% of water while a light jelly about 90%. Water doesn’t moisturize the skin by itself and is used in skincare as a solvent for other ingredients. Water The most used ingredient in skincare.

6 | Propanediol An excellent solvent capable of mixing water with normally water-insoluble ingredients. It also functions as a humectant due to its water-loving alcohol groups. Propanediol can control the viscosity of a product by reducing its thickness. Propanediol An excellent solvent capable of mixing water with normally water-insoluble ingredients.
