Does TONYMOLY Minions Soothing Aloe Gel work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using TONYMOLY Minions Soothing Aloe Gel:

  • A bit of moisturizing. It has a moisturizing rating of 1.2 out of 10.

Slight Moisturizing When Used Alone

According to CreamScan analysis, TONYMOLY Minions Soothing Aloe Gel is slightly moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 1.2 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? This product is purely humectant, but with a low Humectancy of 2.5 out of 10. It has zero Occlusivity as we didn't find any occlusive ingredients on the ingredient list.

This type of product provides relatively light moisturizing on its own but can contribute to overall moisturizing efficacy when used as part of a skincare routine, alongside another moisturizer.

Tip: Certain studies suggest that humectants alone may not effectively moisturize the skin. If you use this product as your only moisturizer, we recommend following it with one that contains at least some occlusive ingredients.

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