Face Cream

Face cream is the cornerstone of any skincare routine: a seemingly simple product that actually encompasses remarkable formulation complexity. With over 2,200 references available, our collection caters to every skin need, every age group, and every cosmetic philosophy — from natural to dermocosmetic, from anti-aging to daily hydration — to guide you in making a truly informed choice.

How to choose the face cream that’s right for you

The first criterion for selection is skin type: dry, oily, combination, sensitive, or normal. Dry skin benefits from formulas rich in emollients and occlusives like plant butters and ceramides; oily or acne-prone skin prefers lightweight textures, gel-creams, or non-comedogenic fluids. Equally important is the time of use: day creams often include UV filters or antioxidant ingredients to defend against environmental stress, while night creams prioritize regenerating and nourishing actives that work during skin rest. Don’t overlook the chronological age of the skin: the needs of young skin differ significantly from those of mature skin, which requires more support in terms of density and firmness.

A common mistake is choosing a cream based solely on fragrance or the texture felt at touch, ignoring the INCI list. We recommend always checking the first five ingredients, which represent the largest share of the formula, and paying attention to any known allergens. If you have reactive skin or suffer from specific conditions, the advice of a dermatologist or pharmacist remains the most reliable reference before introducing a new product into your routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many times a day should I apply face cream?

Generally, a morning and evening application is recommended, on clean and slightly damp skin to promote absorption. The frequency may vary based on the formula and the manufacturer's instructions on the label.

Can face cream replace sunscreen?

Only if it contains UV filters with a declared and certified SPF. A moisturizer without SPF does not provide adequate protection against UVA and UVB radiation: for sun exposure, it is always preferable to complement or replace it with a specific sunscreen.

Is there a real difference between day cream and night cream?

Yes. Day formulas are generally lighter and protective; night formulas are richer and reparative, designed to support the natural cell renewal that occurs during sleep. Using them in reverse is not optimal, but it does not cause significant harm.
