Find the best moisturiser for your skin type

A moisturiser is a crucial step in your skin regime – hydrating and softening, protecting the skin barrier, and locking in the benefits of your serum. For best results it’s important to choose a moisturiser that suits your skin concern – whether dry, combination, or oily – or one that focuses on the skin concern you wish to target, be it fine lines, an uneven skin tone, or stressed, dehydrated skin.

Best daily moisturiser for mature skin:

Lime Caviar Collagen-Rich Firming Cream is an anti-ageing moisturiser to help smooth, firm, and plump the skin. The 100% natural-origin formulation is scientifically shown to stimulate Type I collagen production in-vitro by up to 65%^.

How does it work?

The light formulation features Sepilift™ DPHP peptide compound to help nurture a firmer complexion. AHA-rich lime caviar extract promotes radiant skin tone, whilst avocado oil smooths fine lines.

Best moisturiser for uneven skin:

Diem Vitamin C Pigment-Correcting Water Cream is formulated specifically for skin that’s uneven, patchy, or dull. A plethora of active ingredients helps correct and brighten skin, resulting in a glowing, healthy complexion.

How does it work?

Featuring powerful natural-origin peptides, Diem targets pigmentation at the start of the process, promoting a more even skin tone. It’s enhanced with Kakadu plum, with up to 100x the Vitamin C of oranges, to help brighten skin, and bakuchiol, a natural alternative to retinol, to plump and smooth.

Best moisturiser for dry skin:

Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream a light but intensive natural moisturiser for dry skin, providing long-lasting hydration to nourish and revive.

How does it work?

Vinanza® Grape antioxidant extract, from sauvignon blanc grape seeds, has been clinically shown to improve elasticity and firmness*, while also smoothing and hydrating.

Best moisturiser for oily skin:

Harmony Hyaluronic Manuka Honey Night Cream is the best choice if your skin is oily. The light formulation freshens and firms, promoting a blemish-free complexion while drawing moisture into the skin to rejuvenate and restore its natural glow.

How does it work?

The hero ingredient, manuka honey, is famous for its natural antibacterial properties to help soothe blemishes and imperfections for clearer skin. Manuka honey is particularly good for oily skin because it encourages cell turnover, helping to clear blemishes, and it’s anti-inflammatory, further aiding in keeping skin clear and fresh.

Best moisturiser for combination skin:

Rejoice Light Facial Day Cream's gentle formulation is perfect for combination skin. The light cream restores moisture where it’s needed, while mattifying oily skin and addressing imperfections such as blemishes and the early signs of ageing.

Best moisturiser for dehydrated skin:

This formulation is clinically shown to increase skin hydration by 52% after 24 hours***.

Best moisturiser for stressed skin:
