If this is the only moisturizer that you apply at a time, check out our suggestions for different skin types:
Oily and combination skin: Moisturizing rating of 2 - 6 with high Humectancy and low Occlusivity
Normal skin: Moisturizing rating of 4 - 7 with high Humectancy and moderate Occlusivity
Dry skin: Moisturizing rating of 7 - 10 with high Humectancy and high Occlusivity

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation SPF 18:
Lightly moisturizing: Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation SPF 18 has a moisturizing rating of 3.4 out of 10.
Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product has relatively comparable levels of humectancy and occlusivity: a moderate humectancy of 3.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.2 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Dimethicone (est. ≈6.0%).
Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the moisturizing rating calculation.
According to CreamScan analysis, Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation SPF 18 has a zero anti-wrinkle rating.
It contains Ascorbyl Palmitate, an ingredient marketed as effective in reducing wrinkles. However, the studies supporting the anti-wrinkle claims of Ascorbyl Palmitate provide insufficient evidence of its efficacy according to CreamScan Research Evaluation Standards. Therefore, this ingredient does not generate the anti-wrinkle rating.
Moisturizers, when used regularly, are proven to prevent wrinkle formation and even reduce existing wrinkles. Therefore, this product, like any other moisturizer, could deliver some anti-wrinkle effects through its moisturizing action.
Please refer to the Ratings section below for details of the anti-wrinkle rating calculation.
Maybelline Fit Me Dewy + Smooth Foundation SPF 18 has an SPF of 18 and provides moderate sun protection. This level of protection is generally adequate for most daily activities, such as running errands or spending short periods outdoors. However, if you spend a substantial amount of time outdoors, it is better to use a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF 30 or higher.

The most occlusive product possible is 100% petrolatum (hello Vaseline Jelly). According to studies, however, even 10% petrolatum can achieve almost the same mosturizing effect.
The occlusive properties of petrolatum are at least twice as superior as other occlusive ingredients. This is why, in order to match the moisturizing efficacy of 10% petrolatum, a product needs to contain at least 20% of other occlusives.
Our benchmark for maximum Occlusivity is 20 (and the petrolatum score is always doubled).
