How do I choose the right moisturiser for my skin type?
Gel, lotion or cream: matching texture and ingredients to your skin.
Quick answer: Oily skin suits light gels or lotions, dry skin richer creams with ceramides, and sensitive skin fragrance-free formulas. Your needs may change with the seasons.
Oily or acne-prone
Oil-free gels with niacinamide or hyaluronic acid.
Dry
Creams with ceramides, squalane and glycerin.
Sensitive
Fragrance-free and minimal ingredients.
Seasons
Many people need a richer cream in winter and a lighter one in summer.
Common questions
Do I need a separate night cream?
Not always, though richer textures at night suit drier skin.
