You may have bought moisturizers in the past but before you buy again it is important to select a facial moisturizer for your skin type. If you have dry skin type then choose cream formulations with a higher percentage of oil than water in the base.

In addition, it is wise to pick a facial moisturizer that will also work on other skin conditions as well. For example, people with acne-prone skin need a facial moisturizer with anti-inflammatory and/or anti-bacterial elements. If you have acne scarring, freckles or age spots then it is best to get for facial moisturizer for dry skin with skin lightening ingredients like Licorice Extract, Azelaic Acid, Arbutin, Kojic Acid or Vitamin C. Another concern is the season. A facial moisturizer with antioxidants will deliver extra protection from the sun. Look for facial moisturizer for dry skin that contains Vitamin E or C or includes green tea. If your skin is already damaged by the sun then find facial moisturizers for dry skin with Alpha Hydroxy Acids or Retinol.

Summary For Extra Skin Conditions
Sun Protection : vitamin E or vitaminC or green tea
Sun Damaged Skin : alpha hydroxy acids or retinol
Acne-prone Skin : anti-inflammatory and/or anti-bacterial
Freckles, Acne scarring or Age Spots : Licorice Extract, Azelaic Acid, Arbutin, Kojic Acid or Vitamin C
