And when you\u2019re lucky enough to find that one product you like, loyalty is a given. But have you ever stopped to think about what makes a good face cream? Or if you\u2019re thinking about making a switch, what to consider?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s dive into the world of face moisturizers, including how they work, how to use them, and what to look for on the ingredients list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face\">What does moisturizer do for my face?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can feel the benefits almost immediately. Smooth on your favorite formula, and your skin seems softer to the touch and more comfortable overall. But what about all the work that facial moisturizers do behind the scenes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few things that a good face cream can do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Fill in rough spots.<\/strong> You\u2019re not just imagining that smooth feeling after moisturizing. Some creams include ingredients to help wrap skin in a layer of silky, protective goodness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Attract moisture to the skin.<\/strong> This moisture can either come from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/en-US\/blog\/skincare\/layers-and-functions-of-skin\/\">deeper layers of the skin<\/a> or from humidity in the air.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Help prevent water loss.<\/strong> On top of working to rehydrate, many moisturizers act proactively by locking in water before environmental stressors can zap it from your skin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Support the skin&#8217;s barrier function<\/strong>. Your barrier helps to protect against those daily aggressors (think pollution and sun exposure) that can damage the skin.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"527\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face-1024x527.png\" alt=\"What does moisturizer do for my face?\" class=\"wp-image-9004 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face-1024x527.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face-150x77.png 150w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face-768x396.png 768w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face-585x300.png 585w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face-450x232.png 450w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face-20x11.png 20w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face-225x116.png 225w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face-900x464.png 900w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face-186x96.png 186w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/What-does-moisturizer-do-for-my-face.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-do-facial-moisturizers-work\">How do facial moisturizers work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three main groups of ingredients inside facial moisturizers that you can thank for that satisfying feeling of soft, plump, hydrated skin. Let\u2019s get to know them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Humectants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are the favorites that come to mind when you think of your favorite moisturizing picks. Famed humectants include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/en-US\/blog\/isdinnovation\/what-is-hyaluronic-acid-and-what-are-its-benefits\/\">hyaluronic acid<\/a>, glycerin, panthenol, and urea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Humectants typically work to draw water into the skin from the air around you. But, when you\u2019re in a dry climate, they search for water from the deeper layers of your skin \u2014 turning the next group of ingredients into essential allies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Occlusives<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can think of the humectant-occlusive relationship as a type of greenhouse effect (in a good way). When humectants draw water to skin from outside or in, occlusives trap it there. These buttery-textured elements help keep water from evaporating and seal in the moisture that humectants worked so hard to get. Popular occlusives include lanolin, lecithin, paraffin, and dimethicone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Emollients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Emollients aren\u2019t here to moisturize, but that doesn\u2019t mean they aren\u2019t busy. These ingredients serve as a protective layer and help make the skin feel soft and smooth. A few favorites are ceramides, squalane, and stearic acid. And many occlusives and humectants double as emollients, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"527\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/en-US\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-should-I-moisturize-my-face-1024x527.png\" alt=\"How should I moisturize my face?\" class=\"wp-image-9005 lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-should-I-moisturize-my-face-1024x527.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-should-I-moisturize-my-face-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-should-I-moisturize-my-face-150x77.png 150w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-should-I-moisturize-my-face-768x396.png 768w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-should-I-moisturize-my-face-585x300.png 585w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-should-I-moisturize-my-face-450x232.png 450w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-should-I-moisturize-my-face-20x11.png 20w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-should-I-moisturize-my-face-225x116.png 225w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-should-I-moisturize-my-face-900x464.png 900w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-should-I-moisturize-my-face-186x96.png 186w, https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/How-should-I-moisturize-my-face.png 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-should-i-moisturize-my-face\">How should I moisturize my face?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that products\u2019 textures are intentional, allowing the skin to absorb what it needs during each step along the way. <strong>This means that moisturizer should typically be the fourth step in your routine.<\/strong> After cleansing, apply your eye cream and serum \u2014 then your denser, creamier moisturizer can help to seal things in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another tip? Treat your neck and decollet\u00e9 with the same thoughtfulness as your face. Moisturizing these on-display areas helps to support hydration and elasticity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-start-the-search-for-the-perfect-facial-moisturizer\">Start the search for the perfect facial moisturizer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/en-US\/face-care\/moisturizers\/\">moisturizer<\/a> is arguably the most personal of skincare choices. You probably know what kind of texture you like and how you want your skin to feel after application. But if you haven\u2019t got things clear yet, no worries. As an easy starting point, choose your goal: is it mainly hydration or hydration plus rejuvenation? Then, go from there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-looking-for-lightweight-proactive-hydration\">Looking for lightweight, proactive hydration?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From the moment you wake up to about the moment it gets dark out, your skin just doesn\u2019t quit. During the day, its jobs are to protect against&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/en-US\/blog\/skincare\/ultraviolet-radiation-and-your-skin\/\">UV exposure<\/a>, excess moisture loss, pollution, extreme temperatures, and blocking aggressors from entering. Not easy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to help your skin <em>do its thing<\/em> even better?

As with most great habits, consistency is key. Depending on what kind of climate you live in, your skin loses water throughout the day and night. But a regular moisturizing routine can help you keep hydrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason to stick with it? While immediate results of hydration (like smoothness and plumpness) might show up almost immediately, any rejuvenating effects typically take at least 30 days to appear. So make sure to&nbsp;stick with your moisturizer for any noticeable changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-a-hydrating-moisturizer-good-for-oily-skin\">Is a hydrating moisturizer good for oily skin?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely! Proper hydration can help your skin to naturally balance its own oil production. Plus, it works to keep your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.isdin.com\/en-US\/blog\/all\/what-is-the-skin-barrier\/\">skin barrier<\/a> happy.&nbsp;And when your barrier is content, things tend to go well overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, it is important to opt for a moisturizer that\u2019s suited to oily, combination, or acne-prone skin. Look for non-comedogenic creams \u2014 meaning the formula does its best not to block pores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-is-it-better-to-moisturize-my-face-wet-or-dry\">Is it better to moisturize my face wet or dry?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of opinions around this question. But the fact is, only you (and your dermatologist) know what\u2019s best for your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our experts recommend applying moisturizer after cleansing, applying eye cream, and serum. This means that the skin is dry to the touch. But between washing and massaging in a serum, there\u2019s still a bit of moisture on the skin\u2019s surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
