Does Yves Rocher Pure Calmille Day/Night Moisturizing Cream work?

Based on the ingredient list analysis by CreamScan AI, these are the key benefits you can expect from using Yves Rocher Pure Calmille Day/Night Moisturizing Cream:

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

Lightweight moisturizer well-suited for oily skin and a humectant enhancement for any skincare routine

According to CreamScan analysis, Yves Rocher Pure Calmille Day/Night Moisturizing Cream is quite moisturizing, with a moisturizing rating of 4.0 out of 10.

Is it more humectant or occlusive? Significantly more humectant. It has a low occlusivity of 1.8 out of 10 and a high humectancy of 6.3 out of 10, primarily due to the high content of Glycerin (est. ≈6.0%).

This humectant-rich product, when used alone as a moisturizer, is well-suited for oily skin, providing moderate hydration in a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula with a minimal amount of occlusive ingredients. It can also be a good option for people with normal skin who prefer lightweight moisturizers.

Such a humectant engancement will also positively contribute to the moisturizing efficacy of any skincare routine when used as a step before applying the main moisturizer. This type of formulation is typically used in serums, where a light, fast-absorbing texture is key.
