8 Facial Moisturizers You Won't Believe Are from the Drugstore

Just like taking your favorite shot, your skin will instantly feel the soothing effects of Neutrogena's Water Gel Cream moisturizer. The lightweight gel quickly soaks into skin, but has the same effectiveness as a rich cream thanks to hyaluronic acid, a natural substance found in the skin that's able to retain large amounts of water.   

When you have an acne-prone complexion, an oil-free formula is key for keeping your pores from clogging which can lead to unnecessary breakouts. Clean & Clear is a drugstore staple that simultaneously hydrates skin while treating and preventing blemishes. 

There's nothing fancy about this moisturizer—and that's why we love it. Formulated without any artificial dyes, fragrances, or chemicals, it gets the job done without irritating your skin.  

Both beauty editors and dermatologists are fans of this lightweight moisturizer because along with a gentle, hypoallergenic formula, it has added SPF 30 protection and it's infused with light diffusing particles that boost radiance and even out skin tone. 

While this whipped moisturizer might look good enough to eat—we don't recommend it. Instead, massage it all over your complexion to put its nourishing formula—which also helps minimize fine lines, pores, dullness, and excess oil—to work. 

Erase the reminders of past breakouts by opting for a moisturizer that also includes brightening ingredients. Along with evening out dark spots from acne, this moisturizer also adds a just-got-back-from-vacation glow to dull, winter-worn complexions.

There's nothing wrong with aging—it's a natural part of life that should be embraced. But, it's also totally ok if you're hung up on forehead wrinkles and laugh lines that are becoming more pronounced. Look for a moisturizer like L'Oreal's that's formulated for mature complexions. Calcium and 10 oils nourish dry complexions without tugging or pulling thinning skin. 

When your skin is just as sensitive as you are, finding the perfect moisturizer is a struggle, to say the least. That's where Dove's new DermaSeries cream comes in. It's specifically formulated to hydrate and give relief to very dry skin along with conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
