Key Benefits of Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Cream

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Cream:
 

🔵 Lightweight Moisturizer Perfect for Combination and Oily Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, Physiogel Daily Moisture Therapy Cream 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 10.0 out of 10, entirely due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%) and Pentylene Glycol (est. ≈4.0%), and a moderate occlusivity of 3.2 out of 10, mainly due to the high content of Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil (est. ≈3.0%) and Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter (est. ≈2.0%).

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.
