How & when to use it
Apply as the last hydrating step morning and night, after serums and treatments, while skin is still slightly damp to help lock in the products underneath.
By skin type
Oily and combination skin do best with lightweight gels or lotions. Dry and sensitive skin need richer creams with ceramides.

Common mistakes
- Skipping moisturizer on oily skin, which triggers more oil production
- Using a rich cream that's too heavy for your skin type
- Applying to fully dry skin instead of slightly damp skin
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a different moisturizer for morning and night?
Not required, though some people prefer a lighter formula under SPF in the morning and a richer one at night.
Can oily skin skip moisturizer?
No — skipping it usually backfires and increases oil production as skin tries to compensate.
