Normal/Combination Skin
Everyone wishes they had this king of complexion but it is quite hard to get your skin care needs met with your skin is all over the place!
A lightweight, cult fave moisturizer. Fast absorbing it is great under sunscreen or makeup.
Osea Atmosphere Protection Cream
This lightweight hits that sweet spot between light enough to wear under makeup during the day. You can get this at WF so if it doesn't work out returning is easy peasy.
Three Ships Radiance Stem Cell + Squalane Day Cream
This is a no frills, lightweight gel moisturizer. The gel consistency feels hydrating and there is no scent.
Acure Natural Hydrating Skin Care
Aging/Mature Skin
I feel like this is self explanatory!
Start slowly—once or twice a week, then gradually upping the frequency after your skin can tolerate retinol. This plant-based cream also helps brighten dull skin without the normal adjustments associated with retinols.
True Botanicals Phyto-Retinol Advanced Clinical Cream
This one goes in more than 1 category. Approved by the National Eczema Association this formula light weight and ultra moisturizing. Comes in 2 scents, Almond and Rose.
Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream
Straight up they have a cult following! This moisturizer is being used by ALL skin types.
Ursa Major Golden Hour Recovery Cream
This lightweight cream melts into skin, soothes irritation. This is one of those, ‘did you have something done to your face’ creams.
Primally Pure Clarifying Cream
Made with Moringa so it super hydrates without the greasy.
Aida Intensely Hydrating Face Cream
One of the GOAT's.
CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser
Oily/Acne
Oily/acne prone skin is hard at any stage of life. I struggled for decades. Thank goodness skin care has come so far!
A gel moisturizer that is light yet gets the job done. Gerat for oily/acne prone skin. Goes on great under makeup and sunscreen.
Ursa Major Fortifying Gel Moisturizer
Hands down what the moms are getting for their acne prone kiddos. Great for humid environments.
Cocokind Lightweight Gel Moisturizer
Melts into the skin. Isn't heavy or greasy and with only 9 ingredients I don't think you can go wrong.
Oat So Simple Water Cream
Designed to fight inflammation, blemishes, and redness, this formula is created to combat breakouts.
DIME Beauty Probiotic Gel Cream
Dry/Sensitive
When your system is disregulated it's fairly normal to have it show on your face. From allergies to illness it can make some of us super sensitive. If you identify as someone in this category, I'm sorry. Been there. These are for you.
You know this is a rich cream when it is approved by the National Eczema Association! Perfect for dry/sensitive skin It may be too heavy for humid environments or as a day cream…
Barrier Repair Cream
Touted as a dry skin dream come true. This one has skullcap, a flowering plant in the mint family. It helps to soothe irritated skin and boost moisture retention.
Ursa Major Alpine Rich Cream
Another one approved by the National Eczema Association. Need I say more?
Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Cream
The holy grail of sensitive skin care as professed to me by one of the MOST sensitive skinned souls I know.
