I’ve gone through various moisturizers throughout the years. Here are my best picks. Good for oily to extremely dry skin:
Best Daily Moisturizer
Philosophy’s Purity Made Simple Ultra-Light Moisturizer
Thick consistency yet truly ultra-lightweight on the skin. Use this for skin hydration and before applying makeup. Really good if your face is dry. This is the go-to moisturizer when you want that coveted La Mer (see below) but need to find a temporary alternative until then.
Price: $34 for 4.7 oz
Best Inexpensive Moisturizer
Embroyolisse Lait-Creme Concentre
From France. It has a slight scent of powder. This can be used as a mask as well where you can firmly massage your face and leave it on.
Price: $29 for 2.54 oz
Best Moisturizer Before Applying Makeup
Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Cream
Your skin feels and looks hydrated when you prep your skin. It’s like giving your face a clean smooth canvas before you paint.
Price: $67 for 1.7 oz
Best Overall Face Moisturizer
Expensive but worth it. Thick consistency where you have to pat the cream on your face. I always get compliments on my skin and have to credit La Mer.
Price: $100 for 0.5 oz
