Basic Moisturizer for Combination and Oily Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Musely The Day Cream is lightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 3.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 2.3 out of 10 and a moderate humectancy of 3.6 out of 10, primarily due to Propanediol (est. ≈1.5%), Glycerin (est. ≈0.3%) and Glyceryl Citrate Crosspolymer (est. ≈0.3%).

This product, when used alone as a moisturizer, provides moderate hydration in a relatively lightweight, non-greasy formula. This could work for people with oily skin who need a basic level of hydration.

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