WHAT DOES MOISTURISER DO?
Face moisturiser is a staple skincare product for healthy, nourished and plump complexions. Formulated with emollients to help maintain hydration levels, Kiehl’s moisturisers act as a seal to lock in nutrients and moisture.
WHY IS MOISTURISER IMPORTANT?
Moisturiser is an important element of skincare for all skin types, providing hydration and helping strengthen the skin moisture barrier to prevent trans-epidermal water loss.
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF MOISTURISER
Discover the different types of Kiehl’s moisturisers.
Moisturiser
A high-quality daily moisturiser should hydrate and nourish complexions while helping improve skin moisture barrier function. This helps to reduce water loss and enhance moisture retention.
Day Cream
Day cream is a type of skin moisturiser formulated with ingredients to help protect skin from daytime damage - like SPF to defend against UV radiation, and brightening antioxidants to fight against free radicals.
Gel Moisturiser
While many skin creams contain complexion-friendly oils, gel moisturisers are water-based. This makes them especially suited to provide instant moisture to oily skin and other skin types in need of lightweight hydration.
Night Cream
Night skin creams typically have a thick, rich texture designed to progressively absorb during sleep and deliver a high concentration of targeted ingredients to support skin’s reparative process.
HOW TO USE A FACE MOISTURISER
Moisturiser should be applied after cleanser, toner and facial serums. They can be the last step in an evening skincare routine but should be followed with SPF in the AM. Choose a formula suited to your skin’s needs and massage into the face and neck in gentle sweeping motions until fully absorbed.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU MOISTURISE YOUR FACE?
Apply face moisturiser twice daily, as part of your AM and PM skincare regimes. During the day, opt for lightweight moisturisers that absorb quickly to hydrate without residue, and in the evening, a richer night time face cream can support skin’s reparative process.

The Best Moisturiser For Winter Skin
Dry skin is common in winter and a lack of hydration can result in a tight feeling, itchy sensations and texture – help care for dry skin in winter with ultra-hydrating moisturisers.
Ultra Facial Cream with Squalane
With a natural affinity to skin, squalane benefits skincare as a highly refined botanical lipid derived from olives that can help strengthen the skin moisture barrier. An effective emollient with a similar molecular structure to skin lipids, squalane is highly compatible with complexions – soften, hydrate and smooth with our best-selling daily face cream.
The Best Anti-Ageing Moisturiser
The best anti-ageing creams aim to slow the development of fine lines, wrinkles and sagging skin with ingredients that support mature skin and ageing complexions.
Super Multi-Corrective Cream
Powered by intensely hydrating hyaluronic acid, radiance inducing chaga mushroom and skin refining phytomimetic vitamin A, this face moisturiser takes a multi-targeted approach to anti-ageing.
The Best Moisturiser For Oily Skin
While oiliness can be genetic, dehydration can also trigger sebaceous glands to work overtime in an attempt to nourish skin naturally. Oil free moisturisers can aid in balancing hydration levels for oily skin.
Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel Cream
Expertly formulated for oily skin, this non-greasy, non-comedogenic and oil free moisturiser provides 24-hour hydration. Fast absorbing and lightweight, the gel formula hydrates skin without leaving a shiny residue or clogging pores.

Clearly Corrective Brightening & Smoothing Moisture Treatment
Created to address uneven tone and hyperpigmentation, this Kiehl’s moisturiser uses activated-C (a stabilised form of vitamin-C) to help diminish dullness and increase clarity. Known to replenish hydration and nutrients, white birch extract works alongside activated C to promote even tone, while glycolic acid works to improve texture and radiance.
The Best Night Cream
The best night skin creams are highly concentrated with hydrating ingredients to deeply nourish complexions when skin is at its most permeable. To encourage suppleness, apply a richly textured night cream each evening before bed.
