17 Best Face Moisturizers for Flawless Skin All Year RoundFind the best moisturizer for you, whether your skin is oily, dry, sensitive or somewhere in between |
Skin types vary, and so must your moisturizer. Despite our differences, nearly all skin types can benefit from the right type of face moisturizer.
Dry skin types can certainly attest to this. Without a daily dose of hydration your skin would be flaky, itchy and tight. Luckily, this list of the best moisturizers includes products that deliver intense hydration that lasts all day without causing breakouts or greasiness.
Oily skin types might use moisturizer less often, but you actually need it just as much. Because people with oily or acne-prone skin often apply drying products, your skin may start to produce more oil to balance it out (yikes). But using a light moisturizer (especially one with oil-control properties) can help keep skin in balance and cause it to produce less oil over time. Thankfully, this list also includes light moisturizers that are perfect for oily skin — ones that don't cause breakouts or extra shine, but do offer some hydration.
If you have sensitive skin, you know that a good moisturizer can calm redness or flare-ups from skin issues like eczema. Most sensitive skin will benefit from a basic moisturizer without a lot of added chemicals or preservatives, and there are plenty of products on this list that fit the bill.
So check it out. We're sure you'll find the best moisturizer for your skin.

I use Clinique Moisture Surge in the summer, and Cetaphil in the winter. Happy to see that both were on this list, they are great!

I don't care what anyone says...Clinique is horrible. It contains mineral oil, which acts as a barrier on your skin so you're not actually getting any of the moisture from the product.

The Clinique is one of my favorites! I used it this morning!

Wow who ever is spending $400 on facial cream should be young looking forever!!!!

I am so happy that an affordable product was the number one choice. $400 for moisturizer is ridiculous! I wonder why none of the Boots No. 7 creams didn't make the list since the press made such a big deal about how great they were.

I love Eucerin creams and right now I'm in love with Monsia facial care creams. Really moisturizing for skin and the natural oils + vitamins seem really good :)

I was actually looking at this list to find a replacement for the Body Shop Vit C moisturizer. I have it now and it is really disappointing, definitely leaves my skin feeling greasy and worsened my complexion considerably. Before I used the Vit E moisturizer and my skin was very smooth, switched to Vit C for summer but it was a mistake. DO NOT RECOMMEND IT!
