Moisturizers
Daily, AM + PM
(May layer or switch texture based on time of day/season)
What They Are
Creams, gels, or lotions designed to help skin retain water and strengthen the barrier. They seal in hydration, prevent water loss, and protect against external stressors.
Why It Matters
Moisturizers don’t just soften the skin—they keep it balanced, help actives work better, and support healing.
Skin Approved Picks
Lightweight Hydrators
Gel and gel-cream moisturizers that layer well, absorb fast, and work for oily, combo, or breakout-prone skin.
Naturium Marshmallow Root Barrier Balm (Gel-Cream Hybrid)
Why I like it: Balances hydration with a soft cushiony feel — more comforting than most gels but still breathable.
🔗 Where to Buy
Avene Hydrance Aqua-Gel
Why I like it: Delivers deep hydration in a lightweight, cooling texture.
