Signs You've Picked a Good Moisturizer First and foremost, your moisturizer should adequately hydrate your skin, which should feel moist but not greasy, says Shamban. If cheeks feel silky and smooth, it's a keeper. A good moisturizer will also give skin bounce about 30 seconds after applying, adds Lancer. Not "just a feel-good sensation, it's a physical bounce." (This explains the rise of bounce creams and balms.)
When looking at skin, your complexion should have a healthy, radiant glow with fewer cracks, crevices and dry patches. Verallo-Rowell states that skin should look healthier with and without makeup.
