Key Benefits of Lancer Skincare Instant Contour Firming Treatment

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Lancer Skincare Instant Contour Firming Treatment:
 

Lightweight Moisturizer Perfect for Combination and Oily Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Lancer Skincare Instant Contour Firming Treatment is highly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 6.6 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a maximum humectancy of 10 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%) and Glycereth-26 (est. ≈2.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.2 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈4.0%).

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

This product may also be a good choice for people with normal skin who prefer fast-absorbing textures, as it balances significant moisturizing potential with a relatively lightweight texture.

A Humectant Boost for Any Skincare Routine

But it’s not limited to combination and oily skin - such a humectant boost will also positively contribute to the moisturizing efficacy of any skincare routine when used as a step before applying the main moisturizer. This type of formulation is typically used in serums, where a light, fast-absorbing texture is key.

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