🔵 Lightweight Moisturizer Well-Suited for Combination and Oily Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Maybelline Facestudio Master Prime Blur Pore Minimize is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 5.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a high humectancy of 7.8 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈5.0%) and Propylene Glycol (est. ≈2.5%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.8 out of 10, solely because of the significant content of Dimethicone (est. ≈7.5%).

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

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

💧 A Humectant Enhancement for Any Skincare Routine

But it’s not limited to combination and oily skin - such a humectant enhancement 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.
