Creams & Moisturisers FAQs
What is the difference between a cream, moisturiser, and hydrator?
A moisturiser is any product that helps keep the skin soft and smooth by preventing water loss. A hydrator specifically adds water to the skin, often using humectants like hyaluronic acid. A cream is a type of moisturiser, usually richer in texture and best for dry or mature skin.
How do moisturisers work?
Moisturisers work by creating a protective barrier on the skin’s surface to lock in moisture and prevent dryness. Some formulas also contain active ingredients to repair the skin barrier, soothe irritation, or provide anti-ageing benefits.
How do I choose the right moisturiser for my skin type?
- Oily/Combination Skin: Choose lightweight, oil-free or gel-based hydrators.
- Dry/Mature Skin: Opt for richer creams with ceramides, shea butter, or squalene.
- Sensitive Skin: Look for fragrance-free, calming formulas with ingredients like aloe vera or niacinamide.
A skin consultation can help you find the perfect match.
Can I skip moisturiser if I have oily skin?
No — even oily skin needs hydration. Skipping moisturiser can actually make skin produce more oil. Choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula to keep skin balanced without clogging pores.
Should I use moisturiser day and night?
Yes. A daytime moisturiser should be lightweight and ideally contain SPF to protect against UV damage, while a night cream can be richer to support overnight repair and regeneration.
What ingredients should I look for in a good moisturiser?
Key ingredients include:
- Hyaluronic acid – attracts water for deep hydration
- Ceramides – repair and strengthen the skin barrier
- Glycerin – draws in moisture
- Antioxidants – protect against environmental damage
Can moisturisers reduce wrinkles or fine lines?
Yes — many moisturisers contain anti-ageing ingredients like peptides, retinol, or antioxidants that help smooth fine lines and boost collagen production. Consistent use can improve skin’s texture and appearance.
How much moisturiser should I use?
A pea-sized amount is usually enough for the entire face. For creams, you may need slightly more, especially if you have dry skin or are applying to the neck and décolletage as well.
