For very dry or sensitive skin, dermatologist-approved moisturizers like CeraVe Moisturising Cream and Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream are highly recommended as they contain ceramides and hydrating ingredients to restore the skin barrier.

Yes, oily and acne-prone skin still needs hydration. Look for oil-free or non-comedogenic moisturizers such as La Roche-Posay Effaclar H that keep skin balanced without clogging pores.

Face moisturizers should be applied twice daily—once in the morning and once at night—after cleansing and applying serums. This helps lock in hydration and protect the skin barrier throughout the day and night.

Face creams are richer and provide deeper hydration, making them suitable for dry skin, while lotions are lighter and better for normal to oily skin. Choosing the right one depends on your skin type and season.
