Brutally rating popular moisturisers I have used
11
items For reference: I have dry skin with an oilier, clog-prone forehead. This summarises the rating that I gave all these moisturisers in my TikTok post. A lot of these moisturisers are very popular, but I have some differing thoughts!

Repurchasing
I liked all of these moisturisers. I've either already re-purchased it multiple times or I am planning to re-purchase.
Most simple, staple moisturiser. I always go back to this because there's no ingredients that could irritate your skin. I've been using it since high school. ✅ No fragrance and it's good for sensitive and dry skin. ❌ If you don't have dry skin though... I use a separate moisturiser on my forehead.
QV Moisturising Cream | Chemist Warehouse
This cream deserves the hype. tube lasts for a long time, I always have a backup so I don't run out. ✅ I use this on my forehead so that I don't get closed comedones from the rich creams that I apply on my cheeks. ✅ It's a lightweight gel but it's st...
Purito SEOUL - Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream
✅ This reminds me of the QV moisturiser- the consistency is similar and it has no fragrance. ✅ It has added ingredients such as mugwort and niacinamide but it feels the same as the QV cream to me. My dry skin really likes it.
Orien - Mugwort Zero Film Moisturizer | YesStyle
✅ Its an emoillent- I never use this by itself, I only use it on top of another cream when my skin is extra dry. ❌ I would still repurchase this cream, but I don't use this on my forehead because it's quite greasy yet still doesn't make my skin feel ...
La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+ | Chemist Warehouse
I liked this for my forehead because it's oilier and clog-prone. ✅ this didn't give me closed comedones. but for the rest of my face it's not moisturising enough ❌. It's not a miracle cream that gets rid of acne though, as its been painted on social media. It definitely won't make all your pimples disappear but it is a lightweight cream that's suitable for oily and acne prone skin.
Dr. Althea - 345 Relief Cream
This cream is moisturising but still suitable for most skin types. It's enough for my dry skin and is also still suitable for oily skin because there's no greasiness and it's still quite easy to spread and lightweight
Mary&May - Idebenone Blackberry Intense Cream
✅ Texture is so nice- stretchy like snail mucin cream but not sticky!! ✅ Dries down really fast so its still comfortable for use in humid weather. ✅ Perfect in between- not too lightweight, and not heavy. ❌ It does have a noticeable fragrance though
MEDIPEEL - Phyto Exosome PDRN Lifting Shot Cream | YesStyle
Unsure or not repurchasing
These are creams that I am not repurchasing not necessarily because they are bad, but some have specific reasons. I might still repurchase some of them, but I am saying that I do have other creams I prefer. There are some things that I don't like whi...
✔️ I would purchase this if it was unscented. I liked the texture of this cream and how it felt on my skin. It is quite nourishing. I would say it's good for dry skin but it is not greasy either so its suitable for many skin types. ❌ The big dealbrea...
Centellian24 - Madeca Cream Time Reverse
✔️ Didn't clog me and it is pretty hydrating. It is a gel texture though and during the winter, wasn't enough for my dry skin. ❌ Not repurchasing because my boyfriend has developed an allergy to this (allergic contact dermatitis). This also makes me ...
Dr.G - R.E.D Blemish Clear Soothing Cream
This was decent but it didn't really stand out to me because I already have many staples in my routine. ✔️ It is hydrating and will work for all skin types in my opinion- even though it's quite hydrating it's a gel texture.
COSRX - Hyaluronic Acid Intensive Cream
✔️ This cream is good for normal to oily skin types. ❌ For my dry skin, I still have to apply something on top of this for my skin to feel adequately moisturised, however it layers nicely with other products. It has a stretchy gel texture and can be ...
