A great face moisturiser is the linchpin of any skincare routine. It locks in hydration, strengthens your skin barrier and creates the perfect canvas for makeup or simply leaves your skin looking healthy and radiant on its own. At Amelia Nour, our moisturiser edit covers every skin type, concern and preference.
Finding your ideal moisturiser starts with understanding what your skin needs. Oily skin benefits from lightweight gel or gel-cream moisturisers with mattifying properties. Dry skin craves richer creams loaded with ceramides, shea butter and nourishing plant oils. Combination skin often needs a balanced formula that hydrates without adding shine. Sensitive skin thrives with fragrance-free, minimal-ingredient formulas featuring calming botanicals.
Our collection goes beyond basic hydration. Many of our moisturisers are multi-tasking formulas that deliver additional benefits antioxidant protection from vitamin C, anti-ageing support from peptides and retinol, pore refinement from niacinamide, and sun protection from mineral SPF.
The best moisturisers also feature ingredients that support your skin barrier the outermost protective layer. Ceramides, squalane, fatty acids and hyaluronic acid all help repair and maintain this vital barrier, keeping moisture in and irritants out.
Apply moisturiser morning and evening after cleansing and serum application. A small amount goes a long way use about a pea-sized amount and warm it between your fingers before pressing gently into the skin. Explore our full range below.
Match your moisturiser to your skin type: gel or gel-cream for oily skin, rich cream for dry skin, balanced lotion for combination skin, and fragrance-free formulas for sensitive skin. Consider additional benefits too, SPF for daytime, richer textures for night, and targeted actives for specific concerns.
Should I use a different moisturiser at night?
Yes. Daytime moisturisers are typically lighter and often include SPF. Night creams tend to be richer and may contain active ingredients like retinol or peptides that work best while your skin repairs overnight. Using both optimises your routine for different needs.
What ingredients should I look for in a moisturiser?
Key moisturising ingredients include hyaluronic acid (attracts and retains water), ceramides (repair the skin barrier), squalane (locks in moisture), niacinamide (balances and brightens), and SPF (protects from UV damage). Look for the ingredients that address your primary skin concern.
Can moisturiser cause breakouts?
Heavy or pore-clogging moisturisers can contribute to breakouts in acne-prone skin. Choose non-comedogenic, oil-free formulas if you are breakout-prone. Gel-based moisturisers with hyaluronic acid provide hydration without clogging pores.
How much moisturiser should I use?
A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face and neck. Using too much can overwhelm the skin and lead to a greasy feel or product pilling. Warm the moisturiser between your fingers and press gently into skin rather than rubbing.
