It is really hard to choose the best three moisturisers for everybody, every season and for any purpose.
My daytime moisturiser will be lighter in weight so that my make-up stays in place as my skin type is combination/oily. Whereas at night I’ve used richer products even something as rich as Creme La Mer or I will use a facial oil.
When I was selling skincare a lot of customers requested a moisturiser that contained an SPF for daytime. If you do decide that you want that please also have a nighttime moisturiser. Do not sleep wearing SPF. It needs to be removed from the face in the evening just like pollution, oil and dirt.
I do not advocate SPF in moisturisers and I never recommended them to my customers. Firstly, the quantity of SPF in a moisturiser will give you some incidental exposure coverage but it is not adequate protection.
Generally most sized faces need a teaspoon amount of SPF for adequate protection and you would need to be applying a lot of moisturiser to obtain that and you would need to somehow work out how much SPF there is in your moisturiser.
So it is best to buy a separate face sunscreen to apply after your moisturiser and before your foundation for daytime.
Best for any skin-type, any season, day or night:
Perricone MD Classics Face Finishing & Firming Moisturiser
I simply love this light weight moisturiser. Whenever I use it my skin looks amazing, glowing and really hydrated.
In my experience most customers really enjoyed it and noticed improvements in their skin whilst using it. Very, very dry skin may definitely feel that they need a heavier moisturiser.
If I could only own one moisturiser for all seasons and for day and nighttime use it would be this one. It just works for the majority of people.
