Finding the perfect face moisturiser is just one of those things that takes a while to get right, we totally understand. You’ve spent the majority of your 20s experimenting with, and trialling different brands, formulas and products and as years go on, you’re still doing just that.
The beauty world is saturated with different moisturisers (no pun intended) promising to give you the skin you’ve always dreamed of, and it’s fair to say that not all live up to their hype (which is super annoying considering how expensive some of them can be).
While we understand that every skin type is different and there are way too many factors to consider to warrant a ‘one-size fits all’ approach, what we do know is that there are a number of moisturisers that can be confidently labelled with a ‘cult-favourite‘ status that is sure to fix one of your skin woes.
Here are 7 you’ll find on your favourite beauty blogger’s shelfie (and now on our Amodrn e-shop!).
DRUNK ELEPHANT Lala Retro™ Whipped Cream
As one of Australia’s best-selling moisturisers, Drunk Elephants’ Lala Retro™ Whipped Cream needs no introduction. Inspired by a classic, old-fashioned formula (think; the creams your grandmother used to use), this whipped moisturiser delivers instant hydration in a lightweight feel. Infused with rich, African oils and plant extracts designed to heal and renew, fermented green tea works to combat ageing and inflammation while promoting firmness, density and elasticity.
LA MER Moisturising cream 60ml
Containing sea kelp, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, lecithin, vitamins C, E and B12, plus oils of citrus, eucalyptus, wheat germ, alfalfa and sunflower—there’s nothing that this moisturiser doesn’t do. Luxuriously lightweight and silky smooth to touch, this cream works to penetrate deep into the skin and replenish moisture. It’ll visibly strengthen the look of your skin and leave your complexion feeling youthfully radiant.

DR DENNIS GROSS Hyaluronic Moisture Cushion 50ml
