Product Information

What We Love: On top of SPF protection, this moisturizer offers a handful of great benefits, including fading the look of dark spots and smoothing pores. Moisturizers are typically formulated to meet the needs of specific skin types, so thinking about your skin type is a good place to start. Supercharged with Natural Moisturising Factor (NMF) – 20% more Hyaluronic Acid**, Amino Acid and Electrolytes Replenish skin’s moisture barrier with the Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturiser, clinically proven to instantly deliver 6x more hydration* and boost moisture for up to 72 hours.

This is a great choice for anyone with combination skin or someone who doesn’t mind being a bit shiny, as the formula can impart a dewy finish. We’d recommend using this cream at night for a few reasons: one, it’s on the heavier side, so it may be too much for daytime use. Two, there’s nothing quite like waking up in the morning to soft, baby-like skin. Given how soothing and butter-soft this formula is, it’s no wonder it’s the magic fix for dry patches and irritation. Yes. Oily skin needs proper hydration, too, just like any other skin type. Look for lighter formulas with water bases. Gel moisturizers are a good option for oily skin. Can you use face oil instead of moisturizer? What We Love: Complete with an antioxidant-rich formula, this moisturizer helped to plump our skin and minimize the appearance of fine lines.Our only complaint: The original formula contains fragrance. But for those who are easily irritated, the brand does offer a fragrance-free option. Who It’s For But if there's one thing we can all agree on is that regardless of your skin type (yep, even if you're an oily or an acne-prone girlie), applying a quality moisturiser is the one non-negotiable step that should not be skipped – period. Think of it as a cocooning, super-soft cashmere blanket for your skin that will a) hydrate your skin, b) repair your skin barrier, and c) soothe irritated skin and dry patches. Some are also great when it comes to reducing redness, pigmentation and even protecting your skin from those harmful UV rays with added SPF protection. Wins all around. Mature skin types tend to do well with oil-based products. Sensitive skin types benefit from soothing ingredients, such as aloe and fragrance-free formulas. Despite the hefty price tag (we know, we know), this formula’s healing powers simply can’t be beaten. To make it last longer, we recommend supplementing it with other moisturizers.

Although we loved this moisturizer, we noticed it had a slight sunscreen smell at first, but once the formula absorbed into our skin, the scent faded away. Without a doubt, the Oars + Alps Everyday Anti-Aging Face Moisturizer with SPF 37 outperformed the competition, thanks to its hydrating, fragrance-free formula and higher-than-average SPF. This lightweight option provides all-day hydration, courtesy of the hyaluronic acid, while the inclusion of vitamins E and B5 help to prevent signs of aging.Ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid make great additions to facial moisturizers. “Ceramides are an excellent ingredient incorporated in moisturizers to protect the skin,” says Zubritsky. “These fatty acids help support the skin’s barrier to seal in moisture and keep out harmful elements.” Sounds obvious, right? But for those of us with chronically dry skin, there’s more to moisturising than slapping on a cream and hoping for the best.

Achieving healthy skin depends on more than just what moisturizer you choose. How you apply the moisturizer is also important. Here are some tips for getting the most out of your moisturizer:Research supports the use of ceramides and aquaporins in moisturizers. Another standout ingredient is hyaluronic acid as it can reduce wrinkles, redness, and dermatitis. A hydrating moisturiser should have a combination of ingredients that hydrate, draw in moisture and help to smooth the skin,” says Dr Soma. A good moisturiser will prevent skin from getting dull and dry and keep it looking healthy. Your razor can also cause irritation, so it's especially important to condition your skin after shaving. That's why many moisturisers for men contain soothing ingredients, such as aloe vera, to reduce itching and redness. How To Choose A Moisturiser
