Background: Moisturiser, or emollient, hydrates the skin and is the second most used skincare product among Indonesian women, following face wash. Moisturizers vary in formulation and ingredients, and choosing the wrong one can lead to ineffective results or side effects. Understanding people's knowledge and attitudes toward moisturizer use is essential.
Objective: This research aimed to determine the correlation between the level of knowledge and attitudes toward selecting moisturiser products among the people of Malang, which consists of Malang City, Malang Regency, and Batu City.
Method: The study used an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional design, recruiting one hundred male and female respondents from Malang through purposive sampling. A questionnaire assessed demographics, knowledge, and attitudes toward moisturizer use, and its validity and reliability were confirmed.
Result: The people of Malang had a good level of knowledge (32%), average knowledge (51%), and poor knowledge (17%), while those who had a positive attitude (41%) and a negative attitude (59%). The results of the correlation between knowledge and attitude by the Spearman test showed a significance value of 0.007 (p < 0.05) and a correlation value of + 0.267.
Conclusion: There was a significant correlation with a moderate level of correlation. Respondents' knowledge of the dosage form and active ingredient content of moisturiser indicators still needs to be improved.
