Face hydration is the foundation of every routine, whatever your skin type. In this collection you'll find hydrating face creams, serums, toners, face mists and masks with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, niacinamide and squalane, which boost skin hydration and leave your skin soft, smooth and glowing.
If you're looking for a moisturiser for oily skin, go for lightweight gel or gel-cream textures with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide or zinc (Zinc PCA), which hydrate without heaviness and help balance oiliness. See all options for oily and combination skin.
For dry skin
Dry skin needs richer creams with ceramides, squalane and plant oils, or a nourishing face oil as the last step in the evening. You'll find more options in our collection for dry skin.
For dehydrated or dull skin
Dehydration is a lack of water and can appear on any skin type. A hydrating serum with hyaluronic acid and a hydrating toner or essence quickly give your skin a plumper, fresher and more radiant look.
Evening:double cleansing → toner or essence → serum → richer cream or face oil
During the day, a face mist refreshes that hydrated feeling, especially when you're in air-conditioned spaces.
LuLuLa Tip: Apply your hyaluronic acid serum to slightly damp skin and lock in the hydration with your cream. Learn more about hyaluronic acid in our guide.
What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?
Dry skin is a skin type that naturally produces less oil, while dehydrated skin is a temporary lack of water that can appear even on oily skin. Dry skin needs nourishing ingredients such as ceramides and oils, while dehydrated skin needs ingredients that boost hydration, such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin.
Do I need a moisturiser if I have oily skin?
Absolutely! When you skip hydration, your skin often reacts by producing more oil. The answer is a moisturiser for oily skin with a lightweight gel or gel-cream texture and niacinamide or Zinc PCA, which leaves no shine and helps balance oiliness.
Serum or moisturiser for hydration?
Ideally, both! A face serum delivers concentrated hydrating ingredients, while a hydrating face cream locks in moisture and supports the skin barrier. Apply the serum first, then the cream.
Toner vs essence: what is the difference?
A toner preps your skin after cleansing and helps it better absorb the steps that follow, while an essence has a more concentrated texture and offers extra hydration. Read our detailed toner vs essence guide.
Which hydrating ingredients should I look for?
Hyaluronic acid and glycerin boost hydration, ceramides and squalane help retain it, while panthenol offers a soothing, comforting feel. Combining them in a serum and a cream covers most skin needs.
Is there a face moisturiser with SPF?
Yes! In this collection you'll find hydrating SPF 50 face sunscreens with hyaluronic acid, squalane or peptides, which work as the last step of your morning routine and combine hydration and protection in one product.
