GOOD STUFF
Everyone's skin is different... and the goals you have for your skin might be different than your BFF's. But one of the best ways anyone can improve the health and appearance of their skin is with moisturizer. Even if you think your skin doesn't really feel dry, I still recommend moisturizer as a truly essential step in any skincare routine.
A good moisturizer helps seal in moisture to keep the skin hydrated, while also smoothing the skin. And since there are so many kinds of moisturizer available, many offer other benefits. I've rounded up my must-haves, from non-pore-clogging moisturizer for your acne-prone skin to un-scented moisturizer for your sensitive skin.
While there's no-one-size-fits-all-moisturizer, don't worry—you'll find a range of moisturizing face creams right here at Christine Byer Esthetics. Keep reading to discover the best moisturizer for YOU and your skin!
While all moisturizers are designed to, well, add moisture to the skin, if you have especially dry or flaky skin, the Dr Esthé Dual Barrier Cream could be just the product for you. This is a hypoallergenic formula that can be used daily on clean skin.

Are you struggling with oily skin? The right moisturizer can come to your rescue! For those of us with oily skin (or anyone who lives in a humid, sticky climate), the NeoGenesis Light Moisturizer is a lifesaver.
In addition to its lightweight formula, which is ideal for oily skin, this moisturizer:
When it comes to sensitive skin, I'm all about a gentle, light, refreshing moisturizer... like the Dr Esthé Aqua Infusion Water Drop Cream. (Though, in my opinion, this is a great option for just about any skin type—you can't go wrong!)
This emollient cream can be used after cleansing twice a day, and in addition to providing moisture to your sensitive skin, this cream:
If your skin is prone to acne and breakouts, prevent clogged pores by choosing a lightweight facial moisturizer, like the CBE Botanicals Fresh Face Whip Moisturizer. This moisturizer has a whipped texture that smells AMAZING—and it's gentle enough to use daily after cleansing.
In the Fresh Face Whip moisturizer, you'll find:
If you want a moisturizer that can target signs of aging, the NeoGenesis Barrier Renewal Cream could be a great addition to your at-home skincare regimen. This is a lightweight, reparative cream that works best when used twice a day.

If you're looking for a moisturizer that can help treat hyperpigmented skin or reduce the appearance of dark spots, I recommend the Dr Esthé Anti-Mela Toning Cream. This brightening cream works hard to treat hyperpigmentation, revitalize your skin's texture, and help your complexion look more radiant.

Korean Beauty (or K-Beauty, as we call it!) leads a lot of innovation in the skincare industry. And this House of PLLA HOP+ Promoter Repair Cell Moisturizer is an amazing, luxurious product that really impressed me. A little bit goes a long way, and you'll immediately notice how well it soaks into your skin. This Korean moisturizer is truly great for any skin type, since it can help brighten your skin, fight acne-causing bacteria, target fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and so much more.

Choosing a moisturizer with SPF is an easy way to eliminate a step in your daytime skincare routine... especially when you choose one like the Dr Esthé Sun Protection Ultra Repair SPF 50, which is a personal favorite of mine. This super creamy sunscreen has a ton of great active ingredients, so every time you apply it, you're nourishing your skin in addicting to protecting it from the skin. I recommend using this as a last step in your skincare routine to your face and neck, as well as the backs of your hands and tops of your feet.
Use this moisturizing sunscreen to:

Q: How often should I apply moisturizer?
Apply a moisturizer twice daily - once in the morning and once at night after cleansing your face. However, you may need to apply it more frequently if you have very dry skin or live in a drier climate.
Q: Can I use multiple different moisturizers at the same time, or should I stick to one?
It's generally best to stick to just one main moisturizer to avoid overwhelming or confusing your skin. Using too many moisturizing products can lead to clogged pores or other skin irritation. However, you can use separate moisturizers for different areas - for example, a face moisturizer and a separate body moisturizer.
Q: How do I determine my skin type if I'm unsure?
Pay close attention to how your skin looks and feels a few hours after washing and not applying any products. If it feels tight and looks flaky, you likely have dry skin. If it appears shiny with enlarged pores, you probably have oily skin. If it feels balanced and not too dry or oily, you may have normal or combination skin. Monitoring for sensitivities like redness, itching or stinging can also indicate sensitive skin.
Well, there you have it - my product recommendations for every skin type! Remember: You shouldn't expect to see results right away, but after consistent, continued use of any of these moisturizers, I'm sure you'll notice a difference in your skin.
If you're unsure which moisturizing products would work best for your skin, I invite you to book a virtual consultation with me! Get personalized skincare advice and recommendations tailored to your unique needs and concerns.
During our one-on-one virtual session, we can discuss your skin goals, evaluate your current routine, and I'll guide you towards the perfect vitamin C serum (and other products) to transform your complexion.
