Moisturizer is a non-negotiable in any skincare routine, but with so many options out there, how do you choose the one that’s perfect for your skin? At Facette, we believe your skincare should be as unique as your skin itself. Whether you’re oily, dry, or somewhere in between, here’s our guide to picking the right moisturizer—and why it’s the ultimate key to achieving that radiant, Facette glow.

Why Moisturizer Matters

Think of moisturizer as the guardian of your skin’s barrier. It seals in hydration, locks out environmental stressors, and ensures your skin stays plump, soft, and healthy. No matter your skin type, moisturizer is essential—but the type you choose makes all the difference.

How to Choose the Right Moisturizer for Your Skin Type

1. For Dry Skin: Embrace Rich Hydration

If your skin feels tight, flaky, or prone to redness, you need a moisturizer that deeply hydrates and nourishes. Look for formulas with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and shea butter to replenish moisture and restore your skin barrier.

We Recommend: A luxurious cream moisturizer like iS Clinical Moisturizing Complex that provides long-lasting hydration and soothes dry patches.

2. For Oily or Acne-Prone Skin: Lightweight and Balanced

Oily skin still needs moisture—it’s all about finding the right balance. Opt for lightweight, non-comedogenic gels or lotions that hydrate without clogging pores. Ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid can also help regulate excess oil production.

We Recommend: A mattifying gel moisturizer like Cosmedix Skin Thirst to hydrate while keeping shine in check.

3. For Combination Skin: Targeted Care

Combination skin can be tricky—you might have an oily T-zone but dry cheeks. A versatile, lightweight moisturizer that offers hydration without heaviness is ideal. You can also try “multi-moisturizing,” using different products for different areas of your face.

We Recommend: A balancing moisturizer like Noble Panacea The Brilliant Radiant Resilience Moisturizer to harmonize hydration across all zones.

4. For Sensitive Skin: Gentle and Soothing

Sensitive skin craves calming ingredients that reduce irritation and inflammation. Look for fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formulas with ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, or oatmeal.

We Recommend: A soothing cream like Environ Botanical Infused Moisturizing Toner designed to protect and strengthen delicate skin.
