How to pick a moisturiser for every skin type and concern.

A cream facial moisturiser is the backbone of a trusty skincare routine; it must play well with a host of products, sit neatly under make-up and SPF, provide protection and nourish too. It’s a lot to expect of one product, especially when your skin’s needs can change by time of day, season, age and environment.

Here we recommend the best A-beauty moisturisers for your skin type and the specific ingredients you should reach for to meet your needs.

What are the best facial moisturisers for dry skin?

If you struggle with dry skin, look for an ultra-rich cream with a cocktail of nourishing elements that give skin the hydration it needs. Ingredients like white tea extract, hyaluronic acid, avocado, jojoba or rosehip oils, vitamin E, shea or cocoa butter should do the trick.
