Dimethicone/PEG-10/15 Crosspolymer

This ingredient is a silicone-based emulsifier and thickener. It helps to blend oil and water components in a formulation, creating stable and pleasant textures. It also contributes to a smooth, non-greasy feel on the skin and can enhance water resistance.

Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.

Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.

Hydration i0.8 / 4
