Skincare for dry skin

Cream for dry facial skin

Dry facial skin often feels tight, rough or flaky because it lacks oils and therefore struggles to retain moisture. A good cream for dry skin does both: it binds moisture in the skin and creates a nourishing layer, leaving skin soft and supple again. 24 Hour Cream is our moisturizer for dry, very dry and sensitive skin. A plant-based moisture complex and hyaluronic acid, a substance that binds moisture in the skin, provide long-lasting hydration, yet the cream absorbs quickly without feeling greasy. Day Cream is rich enough for dry skin and provides moisture and radiance with hyaluronic acid. Both creams are AllergyCertified and dermatologically tested, and 24 Hour Cream is fragrance-free.

Dry skin and dehydrated skin are not quite the same. Dry skin lacks oils and feels rough, while dehydrated skin lacks water and can feel tight, even if it is also oily. Most people with dry skin need both: ingredients that bind water in the skin and oils that help retain it.

Very dry skin and dry winter skin

Cold, wind and dry air from radiators can make skin extra dry in winter. You can give it more of what it lacks:

• Serum under your cream: Hyaluronic Serum is a fragrance-free hydrating serum that gives dry skin a boost of moisture you can feel immediately.
• Oil as the final step: Facial Oil with rosehip seed oil provides intense moisture and nourishment.
• Richer care at night: Night Cream is slightly thicker than our Day Cream, and the fragrance-free 50+ Goodnight Cream is made for mature and dry skin.
• Moisture treatment: Moisturizing Mask with two types of hyaluronic acid can be left on for 10 minutes or used as an overnight mask.

Gentle cleansing and your daily routine

A drying facial cleanser can make your skin drier and tighter. Fragrance-free Cleansing Milk gently removes dirt and makeup and helps skin maintain its natural moisture balance, so it does not feel tight afterwards. Cleansing balm removes makeup and nourishes skin in one step. In the morning, finish with a day cream, preferably with SPF, such as Day Cream SPF 20, and in the evening with a night cream. If you want to give your skin extra moisture, see our serum.

Men with dry skin can find Men Face Cream, which helps with dryness without feeling greasy, under skincare for men. Read more advice in dry facial skin: how to restore moisture, or find your routine.
