FAQs

What is the main difference between a face cream and a moisturizer?

The main difference is that face creams tend to be richer, thicker formulas designed specifically for facial skin, while moisturizers come in lighter gel-based or water-based options better suited for the body.

When should I use a moisturizer versus a face cream?

Use lightweight moisturizers designed for the body below the neck. Only use richer face creams and treatments specifically formulated for the delicate facial skin.

What ingredients should I look for in a face cream?

Some top ingredients to have in a face cream include ceramides to repair the skin barrier, peptides to promote collagen production, hyaluronic acid to hydrate, and antioxidants like vitamin C to prevent damage from environmental factors.

If I have sensitive skin, what’s the best moisturizer option?

Those with sensitive skin should look for fragrance-free and dye-free moisturizers labeled as suitable for sensitive skin. Ingredients like colloidal oatmeal can calm inflammation. Also avoid potential irritants like alcohol, menthol, and harsh exfoliants.
