Rating viral moisturisers that I have tried honestly
11
items A lot of moisturisers go viral on social media, but are they really good? 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...

Repurchasing
These are all moisturisers that I really liked and frequently used. 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
Mid
Decent options but either have a few cons depending on my skin type or simply didn't stand out to me that much because I already have a lot of staple moisturisers that I'm comfortable with and I'm loyal to them!
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 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
✔️ 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
Not repurchasing
Creams that I am not repurchasing not necessarily because they are bad, but there are usually specific reasons that I have stated. There are some things that I don't like which I mention.
✔️ 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
✔️ 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 ...
COSRX - Advanced Snail 92 All In One 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 ...
