Moisturising your skin is important when it comes to keeping skin looking its best—youthful, radiant and healthy—and a high-performance moisturiser is a vital part of any skincare routine. Face moisturiser benefits your skin by deeply hydrating and nourishing skin plus delivering targeted anti-ageing benefits. Moisturiser is typically applied after your cleanser and serum, but before sunscreen.
In the morning, you might prefer a more lightweight moisturiser cream or lotion. Ones with SPF are also favourites for extra protection. At night, reach for a richer moisturiser formula for extra nighttime nourishment. Did you know skin loses more moisture at night? While you sleep, skin’s temperature rises and moisture loss peaks. It’s important to keep skin extra hydrated with an intensive night creme or moisturiser.

A frequently asked skincare question is how to apply face moisturiser. Use your moisturiser after applying your cleanser and serum. Apply on clean, slightly damp skin for best results. You can warm the product between your hands and pat it onto your skin, then gently massage it in until it absorbs. Apply it all over your face and neck, morning and night.
In addition to knowing how to apply moisturiser, it’s important to know what kind of moisturiser to use. One of our best sellers for all skin types—including mature skin—is Revitalizing Supreme+ Creme featuring our exclusive Moringa Extract and powerful technology. It deeply hydrates and nourishes skin and dramatically reduces the look of lines and wrinkles. Skin feels firmer. Glows with radiant vitality.
