Kiehl's Ultra Face Cream

Ultra Facial Cream is the lightweight moisturizer you need as the last step before SPF in your skin care routine. It contains glacial glycoprotein, which helps your skin look healthy, radiant and hydrated, and absorbs at lightning speed.

Lancôme Absolue Velvet Cream SPF 15

This luxurious moisturizer will literally make your skin feel like velvet. It contains a combination of glycolic acid, salicylic acid, hyaluronic acid and shea butter that simultaneously remove dead skin cells and help strengthen the moisture barrier. Plus, it has SPF 15 so you can apply makeup right on top.

L'Oréal Paris Revitalift Triple Power Anti-Aging Hydrating Face Cream 

Triple Power is a favorite in pharmacies for good reason - it contains an anti-aging cocktail of vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and retinol. With continued use, it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and brightens the skin, and goes well with any kind of makeup.

Tula Face Filter Blurring & Hydrating Facial Primer

For a moisturizer that also acts as a makeup base, we recommend this Tula formula. It contains prebiotics, chia seeds and licorice to help balance and nourish the skin. Makeup goes well on top of it.

Biossance Squalane + Probiotic Gel Moisturizer

If you have oily skin, a moisturizing gel is the best texture to apply under makeup. Biossance's formula contains squalane, red seaweed and ginger to help reduce redness and keep skin balanced and free of shine, even when you're wearing makeup over.

Makeup struggles are real when you have acne. Let this non-comedogenic acne-fighting moisturizer do the trick. It contains a blend of botanical extracts that help block pore-clogging bacteria and soothe the skin. We promise it won't roll when you layer your favorite full coverage foundation on top!
