How moisturizing is it?

Lightly moisturizing: Uriage Eau Thermale Glow Up Water Essence has a moisturizing rating of 3.7 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 high humectancy of 7.4 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈3.0%) and Xylitylglucoside (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.
