The Importance of Face Moisturizers

Face cream and other moisturizers for face are a necessity in every skincare regimen. In addition to preventing dryness and moisture loss, properly formulated face moisturizers can deliver long-lasting hydration to help support the skin’s natural barrier for protection against external aggressors. Face moisturizers are also an important step in prepping skin for makeup application.

Is Face Moisturizer Necessary?

Face moisturizers should be part of any skincare regimen, as all skin types need extra hydration to help maintain skin moisture levels. Moisturizers also help reinforce the skin’s barrier to prevent dryness caused by environmental factors such as cold and dry air.

Should I Use Face Moisturizers Every Day?

No matter your skin type, using a face cream or other moisturizers daily helps maintain skin hydration. Moisturizers for face help prevent dryness and keep the skin feeling soft, smooth, and plump. Face moisturizers come in many textures ranging from lightweight serums to rich creams, and you may want to use different moisturizers for day and night.

Are Face Moisturizers Good for Oily Skin?

It is a misconception that oily skin doesn’t require the extra hydration that moisturizers provide. In fact, oily skin can benefit from moisturizers for face especially when using salicylic, glycolic, and other acids or retinol creams.

How Often Should You Apply Face Moisturizers?

As a general rule of thumb, it’s best to apply moisturizers in the morning, at night, and any time after you wash your face.

Answers to your frequently asked questions.

Formulated for all skin types and available as serums, creams, and facial masks, SkinCeuticals moisturizers are designed with proven, multi-functional ingredients to provide optimal skin hydration. However, when it comes to selecting moisturizers for face use, it is important to look for a formulation that meets your individual skin needs.
A SkinCeuticals skincare professional can recommend the ideal face moisturizers for your skin. A good question to ask is how the face cream, lotion, or serum is formulated. Most moisturizers are formulated with ingredients that possess occlusive, humectant, or emollient properties. Occlusive agents help prevent moisture loss, humectants attract water to skin, and emollients help soften and smooth skin. Depending on your skin type, face moisturizers with certain combinations of ingredients will be most beneficial.

The ideal face cream and other moisturizers for face should be suitable for your unique skin type and concerns. Specially formulated face moisturizers can provide additional benefits. For example, SkinCeuticals Phyto A+ Brightening Treatment provides hydration and improvement in the look of uneven skin tone over time. Redness Neutralizer offers lightweight moisture as it minimizes the appearance of blotchiness and soothes the skin with a cooling sensation. Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 helps replenish the skin’s barrier and address visible signs of aging.

SkinCeuticals offers several face moisturizers that are formulated specifically for dry skin. These products contain humectants that help attract moisture to the skin, as well as occlusive ingredients that help lock in hydration. Emollience is a fast-absorbing face cream that provides the extra hydration dry skin needs, while Renew Overnight Dry hydrates and gently exfoliates while you sleep. Those with dry skin can get extra moisture with a hyaluronic acid serum such as our Hydrating B5 Gel.

Face moisturizers are essential for providing the skin with hydration. When selecting a face cream or other moisturizers for face, it is important to find a formulation that meets the needs of your individual skin type and concerns. SkinCeuticals face moisturizers are available in several different textures including serums, creams, and facial masks. We recommend working with a skincare professional who can assess your skin type and recommend face moisturizers that are suitable for your specific skin needs. During your morning skincare routine, be sure to apply your face cream or other moisturizer after a SkinCeuticals vitamin C antioxidant serum and before a SkinCeuticals sunscreen for optimal results. If you use retinol at night, apply your moisturizer after your retinol product.
