Things to Be Aware Of: Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Blur Face Primer

 
CreamScan AI identified a few things to consider before adding Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Blur Face Primer to your skincare routine:
 

As a Standalone Moisturizer, It Has Relatively Low Moisturizing Potential

If you use Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat Blur Face Primer for moisturizing purposes, please keep in mind that it provides relatively light moisturizing on its own, and, more importantly, it’s not optimal for any skin type.

On one hand, it has low occlusivity, which suits oily and combination skin. On the other hand, it has a low estimated concentration of humectants, which are essential for effective moisturizing of all skin types, including oily skin.

Therefore, if used as a standalone moisturizer, this product should be paired with a humectant-rich moisturizer for optimal skin hydration.
