Moisturizing Cream

The moisturizing cream is the cornerstone of any facial care routine: it maintains the integrity of the hydrolipid film, prevents the feeling of skin tightness, and prepares the skin for the action of other treatments. With over 2,700 selected references, OneBioShop gathers formulas for every skin type, every age group, and every need, from travel-sized to intensive night treatments.

How to choose the right moisturizer for your skin type

The first criterion for selection is the skin type: oily or combination skin benefits from gel or fluid textures based on water, which are non-comedogenic; dry and mature skin prefers rich emulsions or cream formulas with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, or plant butters. A common mistake is to choose based on scent or texture without reading the INCI: an intense fragrance, for example, can be irritating for sensitive or reactive skin. Always check for the presence of sun filters if you intend to use the cream during the day.

The second criterion concerns the time of use and complementary actives. Day creams are often lighter and may contain SPF; night creams have more nourishing textures, designed to work during skin rest. If you are already following a routine with serums or exfoliating acids, choose a cream with a simple and soothing formula to avoid overloading the skin. Pay attention to the compatibility of ingredients: retinol and vitamin C, for example, require specific precautions when paired with other products.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the same moisturizer in the morning and evening?

Yes, unless the product contains sun filters (recommended only during the day) or particularly concentrated actives indicated exclusively for nighttime use. Always read the instructions on the label.

Are natural or organic moisturizers more suitable for sensitive skin?

Not necessarily: even natural ingredients can cause reactions in predisposed individuals. Sensitivity depends on the overall formula, not just the origin of the ingredients. In case of reactive skin, consult a dermatologist or your trusted pharmacist.

How many times a day should moisturizer be applied?

Typically, twice a day, morning and evening, on clean and slightly damp skin to promote absorption. The frequency may vary based on individual needs and the specific instructions of the chosen product.
