Whether you're a skincare pro or you reluctantly wash your face at the end of a long day, a moisturiser is a non-negotiable. As a beauty writer, I fully understand how difficult it can be to find the right cream for your skin type. A good moisturiser needs to be hydrating without being too thick or blocking pores and causing dreaded breakouts.
On the other hand, it shouldn't be too light and not hydrating enough for dry skin. I've tried hundreds of different creams over my career and in all honesty, I've struggled to find one that I would truly love and would buy again. My skin is prone to blemishes, which means a non-comedogenic moisturiser is an absolute must.
I also have dry and sometimes flakey patches which is why I don't tend to reach for water or gel-consistency creams. In fact, I usually end out skipping moisturiser altogether, going straight from serum to SPF. This Medik8 formula , however, has been a total game-changer.
Pros Easily absorbed but still feels hydrating enough Doesn't block pores Layers really well with other skincare products Leaves skin with a healthy glow Refillable, and refills cost less Cons Not the cheapest Products in pots aren't as hygienic as tubes or push-up dispensers Medik8 is a brand that's loved by so many – shoppers and skincare experts alike – and I really rate lots of its products, including Crystal Retinal and C-Tetra Luxe , but I'd never really tried any of it moisturisers until I got my hands on Medik8's Total Moisture Daily Faci.
