Product Summary

Based on the ingredient list, "Murad - Quick Relief Colloidal Oatmeal Treatment" can work well for skin moisturization. To work well, any moisturizer needs to include a combination of water-binding and emollient ingredients. Murad - Quick Relief Colloidal Oatmeal Treatment ticks this box. Betaine in this product (humectants) attract water molecules to the upper layer of the skin (the water comes from the outside air or from the deeper layers of the skin if the air is dry). Emollients in this formulation (colloidal oatmeal, jojoba esters, squalane, cetyl alcohol and coco-caprylate/caprate) help to reduce the moisture loss from the skin. They also soften the skin surface and relieve the feeling of dryness and tightness.

This product contains ingredients that could be beneficial, but their concentrations are too low in this formulation: caprylic/capric triglyceride, vitamin e, allantoin, niacinamide and oatmeal extract

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: betaine.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: squalane, jojoba esters.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: colloidal oatmeal
