Find your moisturizer match.
Dryness, dullness, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, or texture—there are many ways your skin could cry out for nourishment. The key is to listen to it. Finding the perfect moisturizer to target these skin concerns isn’t always easy, though. Different skin types have different needs, which change over time due to aging, seasons, and even lifestyle changes.
With so many variables and skincare ingredients, finding the ones that will benefit your skin most can feel overwhelming. We’ve rounded up a list of our favorite moisturizers so you can choose the right one based on your skincare goals.
Black Tea Advanced Age Renewal Cream: A favorite from our Black Tea collection, this moisturizer is perfect for addressing multiple visible signs of aging. Powered by black tea, this lightweight cream boosts radiance & visibly firms. Plus, this cream is gentle on all skin types.
To use, scoop an almond-sized amount and apply to the face and neck. We recommend pairing this product with Black Tea Advanced Age Renewal Eye Cream to double down on signs of aging and reduce the look of dark circles, puffiness, and fine lines.
Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream: Looking to soothe dull, dry skin and deliver deep, lasting hydration? Try this lightweight moisturizer, which delivers 72 hours of deep hydration* in two ways: high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acids instantly and deeply hydrate the skin, while time-release technology provides continuous hydration that lasts.
The lightweight formula is suitable for all skin types and gives dry skin a hydration boost year round. To use, apply to the face and neck daily, morning and night.
Lotus Youth Preserve Moisturizer: This lightweight antioxidant-powered moisturizer is perfect for visibly reducing fine lines. It features ethically sourced** Super Lotus, which captures the benefits of the whole lotus plant in hydrating the skin, boosting radiance, and delivering antioxidant protection. This daily cream targets the first signs of aging and fights against daily skin stressors to give you more radiant skin. It’s also formulated with star fruit leaf extract to smooth lines and polyglutamic acid to lock in moisture.
This moisturizer is suitable for all skin types and is a great base for makeup. To use, apply to clean skin twice a day, morning and night. We recommend prepping the skin for this moisturizer by first applying Kombucha Antioxidant Facial Treatment Essence, an antioxidant essence that protects skin and provides a more luminous complexion.
Vitamin Nectar Moisture Glow Face Cream: For an effortless, glow-from-within look, reach for this vitamin-rich daily moisturizer. The fast-absorbing and weightless cream smoothes and helps combat dull-looking skin. With vitamins C, E, and B5, and revitalizing minerals, this cream minimizes signs of tiredness for a radiant, healthy look. Suitable for all skin types, this moisturizer is especially good for skin seeking an extra pep in its step.
To use morning and night, apply a generous layer to the skin after cleansing and toning.
Crème Ancienne: This cream is ideal for all skin types, but best for skin that needs extra nourishment and care. This restorative face cream smoothes the look of lines, improves skin’s stability, and intensely nourishes delicate skin. Inspired by the world’s first cream, the rich cream nourishes with ingredients like meadowfoam seed oil and beeswax.
This cream is also suitable for use after a dermatological procedure. For optimal use, scoop an almond-sized amount of cream and gently glide onto the cheeks, chin, forehead, and neck.
