Review

Results you may expect from using Skin Proud Refresher - Facial Mist:

Based on the ingredient analysis by CreamScan, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Skin Proud Refresher - Facial Mist:

  • Moderate moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 4.6 out of 10.
  • Antioxidant protection.

How moisturizing is it?

Quite moisturizing: Skin Proud Refresher - Facial Mist has a moisturizing rating of 4.6 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 9.3 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Propylene Glycol (est. ≈4.0%) and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈3.0%).

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.

Antioxidant benefits

We estimate that Skin Proud Refresher - Facial Mist is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice (est. ≈3.0%).

A key benefit of antioxidants is their ability to reduce oxidative stress caused by free radicals and therefore prevent accelerated skin aging. Studies also show that antioxidants can protect against environmental damage such as UV radiation and pollution, and help reduce inflammation and skin redness.
