First, Determine Your Skin Type

Every person’s skin is unique, but there are a few common skin types that may help you to identify where your skin fits in the most. Knowing your skin type will help you determine your perfect moisturiser. Determine your skin type.

What Face Moisturiser Ingredients Are Right For Me?

Here are a few ingredients to look out for when it comes to choosing the right moisturiser.

Humectants

Every single skin type will drink up these hydration superstars. They attract water, helping to draw in hydration and lock it in place. The most commonly used are hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and niacinamide. Because they’re known for their lightweight feel, they’re ideal for any skin type.

 

Emollients

Rich emollients smooth and soften skin, helping to prevent water loss. They’re often seen in moisturisers as squalane, camellia oil, and ceramides. They're ideal for dry skin, as well as mature skin that’s seeking reparative protection.

 

Antioxidants

Antioxidants work by protecting and healing skin from environmental factors. The most common antioxidants are Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and green tea. Each have their own specific, free radical-fighting benefits. They’re ideal for each and every skin type.

The Best Moisturiser For Combination Skin

If you tend to have both dry and oily sections on your face, you probably have combination skin. Your ideal moisturiser is most likely a gel cream. You want a boost of hydration, but not a too-thick cream to alter your natural moisture reserve. A gel moisturiser is a happy medium between light-as-air texture and soothing hydration.


Combination Skin Should Try:

The Silk Cream is perfect for almost any skin type (and combination skin will love it!), thanks to a trinity of fermented Japanese superfoods that help restore healthy-looking radiance.

This visibly firming moisturiser also contains a complete liquid silk protein, which mirrors the amino acid structure of human skin to deeply hydrate the skin’s surface.

The Best Moisturiser For Dry Skin

Those that have dry skin need extra emollients, ceramides, and peptides that soften the skin’s surface and drench it with hydration. Dry skin loves pampering, so restore it with hydrating moisturisers, rich masks, and beauty oils. 


Dry Skin Should Try:

The Dewy Skin Cream is the best moisturiser for dry skin. The rich, moisturising cream plumps skin for a dewy, healthy glow – thanks to antioxidant-packed Japanese purple rice, Okinawa Algae, hyaluronic acid, and our superpowered Hadasei-3™ Complex (a trinity of Japanese superfoods that restore healthy radiance). The rich texture increases hydration, radiance, plumpness, and overall texture and firmness.

The Best Moisturiser For Sensitive Skin

If you have sensitive skin, you may still have oily, dry, or balanced skin, but it reacts to new products or environments. It’s best to avoid synthetic fragrances and aggressive treatments, and your ideal moisturiser is most definitely fragrance-free and hypoallergenic.


Sensitive Skin Should Try:

The Indigo Overnight Repair is a cushiony cream that visibly calms irritation, strengthens the skin’s barrier, and balances the skin’s natural microbiome. Even after just a single night of use, the treatment has been shown to improve skin’s radiance and calm visible irritation, as well as improve texture and tone.

The Best Moisturiser For Oily Skin

Those with oily skin tend to shy away from face moisturisers because they can feel greasy or have used a hydrator in the past that led to clogged pores. But finding a lightweight moisturiser that balances oil can make skin not only feel better, but also look healthier.


Oily Skin Should Try:

The Water Cream is pore-reducing, balancing, and lightweight‚ making it great for those with oily skin. The clarifying water cream releases a burst of hydrating nutrients and pore-refining botanicals for healthy, balanced skin. The unique formula delivers deep hydration, without leaving skin sticky or greasy.

The Best Moisturiser For Mature Skin

A nourishing and intensely hydrating cream can help boost healthy ageing. Look for rich creams that revitalise dry skin, as well as options packed with antioxidants and ceramides to protect from free radicals, support the skin’s barrier, and nourish.


Mature Skin Should Try:

The Longevity Memory Cream is a groundbreaking memory-gel cream that helps restore skin’s youthful look and delay visible signs of ageing with our nutrient-rich Okinawa Cellescence Complex. This nourishing formula improves elasticity, supports natural ceramides, and locks in hydration for brighter, visibly renewed skin.
