The moisturizer is also oil-free, fragrance-free, and sensitive-skin-friendly. So it’s great for a range of skin types. Paris has combination skin and uses the tinted version of this moisturizer every day. But it wowed us when we tested it on dry skin, too. Embryolisse’s Lait-Crème Concentré doesn’t just hydrate your skin—it also smooths and soothes it. And 15 minutes after using it, we saw a dramatic difference in skin tone and texture. Truthfully, we could wax poetic about this moisturizer for days, but there is one downside to this product: It doesn’t mesh well with makeup. Save this one for makeup-free days when you want to give your skin a breather.

CeraVe's AM Facial Lotion With Sunscreen Works Double Duty Shiseido Hydrating Day Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 20 You can, although a traditional moisturizer without SPF is better suited for an evening routine. But if you really like your moisturizer with SPF and want to use it at night too, there's absolutely no harm in it. According to Neuser, moisturizers with SPF don’t necessarily cause acne, but there are two factors that may contribute to sunscreen-related breakouts. Clogged pores from comedogenic ingredients or sensitivity to chemical UV filters can trigger breakouts. “Make sure you use a product that’s non-comedogenic or a mineral sunscreen if you know you’re sensitive to chemical UV filters,” she says.But what really made this option stand out was its ability to protect our skin from the blazing hot sun. In fact, we slathered this moisturizer all over our face while vacationing in the Caribbean and didn’t get burned once. After a few days spent on the beach, our sunburnt friends started to use it, too.

Without a doubt, the Oars + Alps Everyday Anti-Aging Face Moisturizer with SPF 37 outperformed the competition, thanks to its hydrating, fragrance-free formula and higher-than-average SPF. This lightweight option provides all-day hydration, courtesy of the hyaluronic acid, while the inclusion of vitamins E and B5 help to prevent signs of aging. Persistent itchy rashes: A dermatologist may be able to determine what is irritating a person’s skin and causing a rash. Persistent skin irritation can be caused by allergic reactions, skin infections, or a chronic skin condition. Though we’re fans of pretty much everything Rihanna puts out, we put our bias aside to analyze this product on a deeper level, and this formula really performed. The multi-purpose, oil-free moisturizer with SPF 30 protection worked overtime to fade dark spots, smooth out pores, and fight against the effects of pollution, and it did so with an ultra lightweight, thin formula that instantaneously sunk into skin with no sign of white cast. As the day went on, we couldn’t even tell it was still on our face (and we diligently reapplied). DHC’s Olive Virgin Oil Essential Cream works wonders on dry and dehydrated skin. Made with olive oil, the rich moisturizer isn’t great for every skin type. (Oil-based moisturizers aren’t ideal for oily skin, King says.) But it’s great at combating dryness. Within 15 minutes, the moisturizer made our dry skin feel hydrated and dewy. It even seemed to fill in fine lines, giving our skin a plumper, almost-retouched look.

Ingredients from packaging:

We tested 64 face moisturizers for dry and oily skin. But some lost points in one or more key categories, so they didn’t earn a spot among our favorites. These five didn’t make the final cut, but there were things we liked about them: We also like that this top-notch moisturizer is budget-friendly. And since a little goes a long way, the 1.5-ounce tub of cream should last you a while. According to Dr. Engelman, you should use a moisturizer with SPF 30 if you plan to spend the day mostly inside, but you'll need to reach for a product with SPF 50 if you're going to be outside for a few hours. Reapply every two hours to stay protected.

What We Love: This moisturizer is made with hydrating hyaluronic acid that plumps and nourishes the skin. Although we loved this moisturizer, we noticed it had a slight sunscreen smell at first, but once the formula absorbed into our skin, the scent faded away. The Shiseido Hydrating Day Cream Broad Spectrum SPF 20had a lovely texture and sat beautifully under makeup. However, the fragrance was so strong in this formula that we thought it could double as your perfume. This formula would not be good for anyone with a sensitivity to fragrance. Though the cream wasn’t as fast-absorbing as some of our other favorites, it didn’t take long to soak in. And it felt lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wear. Given its non-greasy texture, the moisturizer is great for various skin types, like dry, combination, and sensitive skin. And if you have oily skin, Versed recommends using the rich lotion as a night cream—not an everyday moisturizer. You already know how important it is to wear sunscreen 365 days a year, rain or shine. You should also be applying moisturizer daily, no matter your skin type. Enter the beauty of a moisturizer with SPF—the two-in-one product that helps you cut down on steps in your morning skincare routine.We can’t deny that its current price is a lot to spend on a 1.6-ounce moisturizer. But if you’ve struggled to find something that balances out your combination skin, this moisturizer may be worth the splurge.
