How to Choose the Right Moisturizer for Your Skin Type

If you've ever asked yourself — "how do I know what moisturizer is best for my skin type?" — you're definitely not alone. Finding the right moisturizer can feel overwhelming. What works wonders for one skin type might leave another feeling greasy or still parched. Once you’re able to get to know your skin type, choosing the right product becomes simple.

Here’s how to choose the right one for you:

Dry Skin

If your skin often feels tight, rough, or flaky, you likely have dry skin. The goal here is to lock in deep hydration and restore lost moisture with rich, nourishing ingredients. Look for natural butters and oils that create a protective barrier against dryness.

Our Recommendation: Drenched Whipped Face & Body Butter

Made with organic shea butter, coconut oil, mango butter, and sweet almond oil, this ultra-rich formula soothes dry patches and leaves skin buttery soft all day.

Oily Skin

Oily skin tends to overproduce sebum (a natural, oily substance that comes from glands in your skin), leading to shine and congestion. The best moisturizers for this skin type are lightweight, hydrating (not heavy), and help balance oil without clogging pores. Ingredients like hyaluronic acid and water-rich botanicals keep skin fresh and plump without greasiness.

Our Recommendation: Glow Getter Hyaluronic Gel Moisturizer

Infused with hyaluronic acid, watermelon, and cucumber, this gel moisturizer hydrates while leaving skin weightless and refreshed—and never oily.

Normal Skin

If you rarely experience oiliness or dryness, your skin is considered “normal.” But even balanced skin needs daily care to protect against environmental stressors, calm irritation, and maintain hydration. Look for moisturizers that nourish and support skin barrier health, and experiment to find one that works best for your skin.

Our Recommendation: Go Getter Nourishing Antioxidant Moisturizer or Drenched Whipped Face & Body Butter

Go Getter is an antioxidant-rich balm calms redness, locks in moisture, and strengthens your skin barrier, making it a great everyday choice for balanced skin. Drenched is a great option if you’re looking for something with a bit more of a hydration punch.

Combination Skin

Combination skin means dealing with both dry areas (often cheeks) and oilier zones (like the T-zone). The challenge is finding a moisturizer that hydrates where needed without feeling too heavy elsewhere. Look for formulas that are lightweight yet nourishing—or layer products for different areas.

Our Recommendation: Go Getter Nourishing Antioxidant Moisturizer or No Filter Weightless Hydrating Moisturizer

We made Go Getter specifically to nourish and soothe dry or reactive areas. Its waterless, lightweight formula makes it perfect for targeting drier spots without adding heaviness. No Filter, on the other hand, is a simple, lightweight moisturizer that locks in hydration across your whole face without feeling greasy.

Acne-Prone Skin

If you struggle with frequent breakouts, hydration is still essential—but the key is using non-comedogenic ingredients that won’t clog pores. Look for moisturizers that are light, breathable, and barrier-supportive to keep skin calm and balanced.

Our Recommendation: No Filter Weightless Hydrating Moisturizer

Formulated with sunflower seed oil, shea butter, and jojoba oil, No Filter hydrates without heaviness or pore-clogging, keeping skin smooth and clear.

Every skin type has unique needs, but the right moisturizer should always hydrate, protect, and support your skin barrier. By choosing clean, targeted formulas, you can keep your complexion balanced and healthy — naturally.
