Does Pipette Eczema Lotion work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Pipette Eczema Lotion:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.8 out of 10.

Moisturizer with the right occlusivity for normal to dry skin, ideally to be used with extra humectants

According to CreamScan analysis, Pipette Eczema Lotion is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 4.8 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Rather occlusive. It has a moderate humectancy of 3.6 out of 10, primarily due to the substantial concentration of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%), and a high occlusivity of 6.0 out of 10, mainly due to the significant content of Squalane (est. ≈6.0%) and Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (est. ≈4.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, may provide a significant level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for normal to dry skin.

However, it contains a relatively low level of humectants, and people with normal skin would definitely benefit from adding more humectants to their moisturizing routine beyond what this product offers. If this is your only moisturizer, it may be worth including a humectant-rich product, such as a serum, in your skincare routine.

The occlusive profile of Pipette Eczema Lotion suggests a texture that is rich and creamy but not overly thick, offering the potential to absorb into the skin without leaving a greasy afterfeel in most cases.
