Face Moisturiser: Why, When and How to Use It

Moisturiser is the most-used and least-understood step in skincare. Its job isn't just to add moisture — it's to protect the skin barrier, seal in the actives beneath it, and keep skin comfortable and resilient. Here's how to get it right.

Why everyone needs one

A healthy barrier holds water in and keeps irritants out. Moisturiser supports that barrier — which is why even oily and acne-prone skin benefits from the right formula. Browse options in our Creams & Moisturizers collection.

When and how

• Apply morning and night, as the final step before SPF (AM) or your night treatment.
• Smooth onto slightly damp skin to lock in hydration.
• Choose a texture suited to your skin — lighter for oily, richer for dry.
• Layer over a Hyaluronic Acid Serum for extra hydration.

A treatment moisturiser

Blue Copper 5 PRIME Face does double duty — moisturising while delivering copper-peptide anti-ageing benefits. For very dry skin, Cream Extreme Intensive Repair offers richer nourishment.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use a different moisturiser day and night?

You can — a lighter one under SPF by day, a richer one at night — but a single well-chosen formula works for many people.

How much should I apply?

A pea-to-almond-sized amount for the face is usually enough; more can feel heavy without adding benefit.
