Abstract

Skin health depends on maintaining appropriate skin hydration, and moisturizers are widely acknowledged as a crucial component of this. However, further research is needed to determine the precise mechanisms by which moisturizers work as well as the different elements that affect their effectiveness. Through an analysis of the functions of key chemicals such humectants, occlusives, and emollients and how they combine to prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL), this study aims to understand the role moisturizers play in improving skin hydration. Glycerin and hyaluronic acid are examples of humectants that draw moisture to the skin, and petroleum jelly and other occlusives create a barrier to keep that moisture in. Emollients, like ceramides, fill in the spaces between skin cells to soften and smooth the skin. Experiments evaluating the efficacy of these components on four distinct skin types—normal, oily, dry, and combination—show that occlusives work best on dry skin, whereas humectant-based lighter formulations work best on oily with combo skin. Moreover, it has been discovered that the effectiveness of the moisturizers is greatly impacted by environmental variables including humidity levels and application frequency. Using a combination of humectants, occlusives, and emollients in moisturizers has been shown to have a synergistic impact, improving skin hydration by up to 60% after two weeks of daily use, according to both clinical trials and in vivo tests. These results underscore the value of customized skin care regimens and advance the creation of moisturizing products with greater efficacy.
