Results you may expect from using MUJI Clear Care Light Toning Water Renewal:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using MUJI Clear Care Light Toning Water Renewal:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 5.0 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: MUJI Clear Care Light Toning Water Renewal 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, primarily due to the high content of PEG-240 (est. ≈4.0%), Propanediol (est. ≈3.0%) and Glycerin (est. ≈2.0%).

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.
