Key Benefits of suki Care Balancing Day Lotion

 
These are the key benefits you can expect from using suki Care Balancing Day Lotion:
 

🔵🔵🔵 Rich Moisturizer with the Right Occlusivity for Dry Skin

According to CreamScan analysis, suki Care Balancing Day Lotion is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 5.1 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more occlusive. It has a low Humectancy of 0.3 out of 10 and a very high Occlusivity of 9.8 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil (est. ≈6.0%), Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil (est. ≈4.0%) and Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%).

This type of product, when used as a standalone moisturizer, can deliver a substantial level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry skin. The occlusive profile of suki Care Balancing Day Lotion suggests a rich, thick texture, making it perfectly suited for dry skin.

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

🍀 Rich in Skin-Protecting Antioxidants

We estimate that suki Care Balancing Day Lotion is rich (> 3%) in antioxidants, specifically Vitis Vinifera (Grape) Seed Oil (est. ≈3.0%) and Oryza Sativa (Rice) Bran Oil (est. ≈2.0%).

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.

📌 Please note that this is not a complete list of benefits. We are in the process of enhancing our model to incorporate anti-pigmentation, exfoliation and anti-acne ratings.

Things to Be Aware Of: suki Care Balancing Day Lotion

 
CreamScan identified a few things to consider before adding suki Care Balancing Day Lotion to your skincare routine:
 

⚠️ Best for Dry Skin - May Be Too Thick for Other Skin Types

With high occlusivity, this product is optimal for dry skin but may be too thick for combination and especially oily skin. Even on normal skin, it can feel too rich depending on the quantity applied, the environment, and individual preferences.

If you have oily, combination, or normal skin and are considering purchasing this product for the first time, it might be a good idea to try a sample before buying.

⚠️ Needs to Be Paired with Extra Humectants for Optimal Moisturizing Efficacy

An ideal moisturizer for any skin type should balance the right level of occlusivity (depending on skin type) with a significant amount of humectants, while suki Care Balancing Day Lotion contains a low level of humectants.

People with dry 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.

Pros & Cons of suki Care Balancing Day Lotion

 
Here’s an overview of the pros and cons of suki Care Balancing Day Lotion to help you decide if it’s the right choice for your skincare routine:
 

🟩 Pros:

Rich moisturizer with the right level of occlusivity to moisturize dry skin
Rich texture well-suited for dry skin
✅ Rich in antioxidants that combat oxidative stress associated with accelerated skin aging and defend against environmental damage
 

⭕ Cons: 

⚠️ May feel too rich and thick on skin types other than dry
⚠️ Only if used as a standalone moisturizer - needs to be paired with extra humectants for optimal moisturizing efficacy
   

Summary: suki Care Balancing Day Lotion

, as a moisturizer, provides a substantial level of occlusive hydration that is adequate for dry skin, delivered in a rich, thick texture.
 
With its high antioxidant content, suki Care Balancing Day Lotion helps protect against free radical damage and offers multiple benefits for all skin types, including preventing premature aging, defending against environmental damage, and calming inflammation.
 
That said, there are some things about suki Care Balancing Day Lotion worth noting.
