Buh-bye, breakage!
There is no question of the importance of moisturizer. Whether your skin is perpetually dry or has been stripped of moisture due to the weather or the use of particular skin products (Looking at you, retinol!), “selecting an appropriate moisturizer is essential for maintaining skin health and hydration,” says board-certified dermatologist Aanand Geria, MD, FAAD, of Geria Dermatology. But how to select the best moisturizer for you?
While there are many options on the shelves, it often entails a lot of trial and error, and sometimes, a lot of money before you find one that works well for your skin type and concerns. Consulting a professional is the first best step to finding your ideal option, but seeking a recommendation or two from people who’ve tested a whole lot of products may be the next best thing—which is where the Well+Good editors come in. Because if there’s one beauty product that our editors keep in heavy rotation, it’s moisturizer.
As editors, we’ve had the opportunity to test drive more skin products per week than most people, and having swiped many, many moisturizers onto our faces over the years, we’ve found options that we look forward to applying again and again. Better yet, most, if not all, the moisturizers on the list below are made with ingredients that dermatologists would give a thumbs-up. And whether your skin is dry, sensitive, combination, or oily (because, yes, oily-skinned people want to moisturize, too), we have recommendations to suit many skin types and budgets.
Below are seven of Well+Good editors’ best moisturizer recommendations.
