Results you may expect from using SEPHORA COLLECTION Beauty Amplifier Set and Refresh Spray:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using SEPHORA COLLECTION Beauty Amplifier Set and Refresh Spray:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.0 out of 10.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: SEPHORA COLLECTION Beauty Amplifier Set and Refresh Spray has a moisturizing rating of 4.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Purely humectant. It has zero occlusivity (we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list) and a very high humectancy of 8.0 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%) and Pentylene Glycol (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.
