How to choose
A face cream keeps your skin hydrated and protects your skin barrier. Every skin needs one, even oily skin. Here you'll find day and night creams from PCA skin, Institut Esthederm, Self and MELINE.
How to choose:
- Combination to oily skin: a light formula such as PCA skin clearskin or hydramatte.
- Sensitive or red skin: PCA skin rebalance or Institut Esthederm crème repos biomimétique.
- Dry or dehydrated skin: Institut Esthederm intensive hyaluronic cream or eau cellulaire crème hydratante fondante.
- Daytime with protection: a cream with SPF such as PCA skin hydrator plus SPF30.
- Dark spots: the MELINE day and night cream.
Apply your cream after your serum, followed by SPF in the morning. Not sure which cream suits your skin? Take the free skin analysis.
Frequently asked questions
Everything you want to know
Does oily skin need a moisturiser?
Yes. Oil is not the same as hydration. If you don't hydrate oily skin, it produces even more oil. Choose a light formula that won't clog your pores.
What is the difference between a day and night cream?
A day cream is lighter and protective, ideal under make-up and SPF. A night cream is richer and repairing. One cream for day and night is fine too, as long as it isn't too heavy for daytime.
How much face cream should I apply?
Half a teaspoon is enough for your face, neck and décolleté. Most people use too little.
