Proof Over Promises: The Clinically Proven Moisturiser That Delivers Instant Hydration

Why Moisturiser Claims Need Proof

Most moisturisers promise “deep hydration”, but how many can actually prove it?

In today’s skincare world, words like hydrating, lightweight, and glow-boosting are casually thrown around. Yet, for those struggling with dry skin, these promises often fall flat. Many products claim to offer instant hydration but rely on surface-level moisture that fades within hours.

At ClayCo., we wanted to change that. Our Rice & Ceramide Moisturiser isn’t just another “hydrating cream”, it’s a clinically proven moisturiser with results backed by science, not marketing. Because when it comes to your skin barrier and hydration levels, proof matters more than pretty packaging.

The Results: Numbers That Speak

In an in-vivo clinical study conducted on humans by Mascot Spin Control India Pvt Ltd., 2025, our Rice & Ceramide Moisturiser delivered proven results across key hydration and skin health parameters.

Here’s what the data showed:

  • 137.96% Proven Instant Hydration

  • 13.70% Instant Smoothness

  • 10.49% Instant Glow

  • 24-Hour Proven Glow & Moisture

  • 11.98% Instant Softness

What does this mean for your skin?

  • For dry skin, this level of instant hydration means relief from tightness, flakiness, and dullness.

  • For combination and normal skin, it provides balanced hydration that lasts throughout the day without feeling heavy.

  • For oily skin, it keeps the skin hydrated without clogging pores or creating excess shine.

These results redefine what a truly lightweight moisturiser can do: giving you hydrated, soft, and glowing skin from the first use.

Why Clinical Testing Matters (Especially in Skincare)

In the skincare industry, it’s common to see phrases like “+45%” or “24-hour moisture.” But very few products are actually backed by legitimate testing.

Here’s the reality:

  • Many brands use marketing metrics or in-house studies that aren’t peer-reviewed or verified.

  • Some rely on subjective testing, not measurable results.

  • Others test on lab models instead of real human skin.

ClayCo. chose to do things differently. We wanted every claim, from instant hydration to glowing skin, to be scientifically validated.

That’s why we went the extra mile to conduct independent, third-party clinical testing on real people, under real conditions, because transparency and trust are the foundation of every ClayCo. product. When we say this is the best face moisturiser, we have the data to prove it.

Inside the Clinical Study

Our Rice & Ceramide Moisturiser was put through an in-vivo study, meaning it was tested directly on human skin, not in a simulated lab setup.

Study details:

  • Conducted by: Mascot Spincontrol India Pvt Ltd. (2025)

  • Type: In-vivo clinical testing on humans

  • Participants: 33 individuals

  • Parameters measured: hydration levels, smoothness, glow, 24-hour moisture retention, and instant softness

In-vivo simply means real-world testing, how the product interacts with your skin in its natural state. The outcome proved that this clinically tested moisturiser provides not just temporary moisturisation but long-term hydration support, making it suitable for all skin types, especially dry skin that needs deep, lasting nourishment.

Consumer Self-Evaluation: Real People, Real Feedback

Beyond lab data, we wanted to understand how users felt about the product in everyday use. 

The results spoke volumes:

  • 100% said it feels super lightweight and non-greasy

  • 97% said it kept skin moisturised and hydrated throughout the day

  • 94% said it enhanced their skin’s natural glow

This proves that our lightweight moisturiser doesn’t just show results in numbers, it performs beautifully in real life too.

Whether your skin is dry, oily, or sensitive, users found it comfortable, breathable, and hydrating all day long. That’s what makes it one of the best-rated face moisturisers in its category.

What Makes It So Effective

Key Ingredients: Rice Extract + Ceramides + Exosomes

  • Rice Extract: A centuries-old Japanese beauty ingredient known for improving radiance and clarity. It deeply nourishes and promotes glowing skin, restoring the look of vitality and balance.

  • Ceramides: Essential for barrier repair, they help lock in moisture and protect the skin from environmental stressors. This is what makes it an ideal moisturiser for dry skin that’s often prone to sensitivity and dehydration.

  • Exosomes: Exosomes act as cellular messengers that boost collagen production, repair damage, and enhance the absorption of other active ingredients. They support overall skin renewal, helping it stay firm, plump, and hydrated from within.

The texture is what truly sets it apart, a featherlight cream that melts instantly into the skin, leaving zero residue. It absorbs in seconds, provides cushiony hydration, and works beautifully in both humid and dry climates. If you’ve ever avoided moisturisers because they felt heavy, sticky, or greasy, this one changes that perception. 

The Bigger Message: Transparency in Skincare

At ClayCo., our philosophy is simple: proof over promises. We’re not here to overwhelm you with exaggerated claims or unrealistic results. Instead, we aim to raise the bar for skincare credibility. Our goal is to make clinically tested moisturisers the standard, not the exception. By publishing our results and sharing real data, we’re showing that skincare can be both luxurious and honest.

In a market filled with unverified “miracle creams,” the Rice & Ceramide Moisturiser stands as a transparent, results-backed solution for achieving instant hydration and glowing skin, no filters needed.
