Best moisturizers 2022

I may be giving my gayness away, but I have been using Albolene recently, and it helps somewhat. I'm sure these frou frou products would do a better job. I lost my chapstick and I'm too lazy to buy more.

I swear by Weleda Skin Food, which is a miracle for really dry hands.

Albolene is famous jack off lube

R2 I’ve bought several tubes of it over the years but stopped because the results do not satisfy me though I like the ingredients and smell.

[bold] Yet Another In A Series Of "I May Be Fat, Bald, Poor and Old, But Damn If My Skin Doesn't Just Positively GLOW Like A Nuclear Reactor" Posts On DL

So bold, r6.

R6 revealed herself

R6 you need to bottle your razor wit and sarcasm then shove it way way up your ass.

For all over/body or hands and feet, I swear by this one. The TIN is necessary. No tube, no pump types. Only the TIN. It smells terrific, like a classic, buttery floral aldehyde fragrance.

Weleda Skin Food is excellent stuff R2. I use it occasionally on my forehead area which gets very dry sometimes. Nice smell too.

For moisturizer I have used L'Oreal since my early twenties (Male 53 now). I have tried nearly everything else but keep going back to the brand because it works really well with my skin type. I'm currently using L'Oreal Age Perfect Golden Age day/night. They are both excellent and really suit my skin. I can't use any moisturizer which contains sunscreen because it runs down my forehead and into my eyes - quite painful. L'Oreal is an excellent quality brand/product, well priced and easily available. Nothing super fancy and does the trick. So that's my story.

R6 is obviously projecting. Especially about the fat, poor and bald thing...

R10 r11 Who cares what you use! This thread is about the 12 best moisturizers in the link. They were chosen for their ingredients and performance by dermatologists and skin care experts.

R12 stop cunting, I'm not clicking your Apple News link. This is an internet forum, people post opinions. Do try to keep up.

Fuck you R12/OP Miss Clinique. Your link is the same old tired old shit paid for and lobbied for by the cosmetics industry brands to make that and similar lists of "best products of the year". Or don't you know how those lists and general marketing works?

I've tried 6 of the products on the list and while some of them are very good - L'Oreal is better and I'll always go back to it.

Next time say; Discuss the 12 best moisturizers in my link in your original post and we'll subsequently ignore you then too. OK?

Like I said upthread I don’t give a shit what you use

Try a grease fire on your face and get back to us with a review R15. It's the new retinol. Perfect for you.

^^You do it first because I’m to dumb to know how.

I like Clinique Moisture Surge 100 hr and Moisture Surge overnight mask. I use the latter on my arms and hands before bed. Moisture Surge spray during long flights.

Clinique Moisture Surge has a loyal following because it’s proven effective.

Coconut oil

I don't use moisturiser unless I'm going out on a particularly cold, windy day or night - I want my skin's moisture to regulate itself and for the exfoliation process to work properly

^ am I wrong?!

R20 can't relate. Have cavernous pores but dry skin and a weak occlusive barrier, so can't leave oils on my face (only use them to quickly wipe off makeup/dirt) otherwise I get clogged and come out in blackheads like the surface of the moon. My skin type is the fucking worst.

I get scaley when I use coconut oil

Have rosacea which is worsened by winter's cold, so while I use moisturizers, I supplement that with plain, old, solid coconut oil. Bought from the grocery, food aisle, it has natural anti bacterial properties and doesn't clog my pores when used infrequently. It gets rid of the sunburn feel and the redness.

I’d never buy any sort of higher-end moisturizer off Amazon or Walmart again. Too many counterfeits. Sephora, Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Ulta all the way.

I’ve tried almost every moisturizer on the list. Dislike most for a variety of reasons, mostly due to my use of an Rx tretoinin for anti-aging - it dries and flakes skin if you’re not careful. Dr Jart’s Ceramidin is great with tretoinin Doesn’t smell. Doesn’t “pill” up or leave a greasy film - most of the recommendations do one or more of those things. And it’s gentle and non irritating.

I get scaley from coconut oil, too. About three times a month I exfoliate with soap,water and baking soda added to a wash cloth. Very gentle scrub as not to peel skin. Afterward use witch hazel on cotton balls followed by ice cold water and regular moisturizer.

^^Nobody cares but thanks anyway.

Best moisturizers my ass. Tiny, snake oil jars of white shit. One born every minute.

for exfoliating, aiding the regeneration process, I use Olay's retinol serum nightly followed by the Inkey List vit C serum - both are very affordable, so I don't feel like I'm just flushing money down the toilet, and both last over a month. I apply both on to wet or damp skin, it's a myth that you need to worry about that, and for the inkey C serum I think it's important you do, it's a creamy texture and I suspect water soluble, cleansing the face properly is important too - I skip moisturising most of the time and have had no problems

Roc night cream causes me to lose sleep. Stings my eyes to the point where I get what looks like pink eye.

Cerave moisturizer - cheap drug store brand - is all you need. The amount of money spent trying to get people to buy these special moisturizers is ridiculous. As an economist the whole skin care scam is a classic study in marketing - including this post.

It’s harsh shit r31

Nobody reads the link to debate the actual products. Everyone has their uneducated opinion. It’s the DL way.

Cloud Cream, Moisture Surge bullshit.

[quote]As an economist the whole skin care scam is a classic study in marketing - including this post.

Dangling modifier! Hee hee.

Do you also use Birch twigs R27?

I got sucked in and decided to try Augustinus Bader Rich cream. Stupidly expensive but my skin does feel better. Or maybe I just want to believe it does. I can’t even tell.

R30 one has to take care with vitamin C serums, preferably using a low concentration that is as close to neutral pH as possible. Too acidic or concentrated and it will burn your skin off, no joke.

No, I haven't. Thank you, 37! The coconut oil has really helped me, but it's good to have more information.

I got a free sample of the Tatcha moisturizer but I didn't get what all the fuss was about. I like The Ordinary's Marula Oil and their Rosehip Oil.

weird hostilities

R27 loves arm & hammer facials

This is my favorite new thread.

I prefer a gel cream moisturiser. I liked First Aid Beauty's Coconut one but it's on the pricey side. I'm about to try an ice one which i think is a dupe for Sunday Riley's.

Cerave Moisturizing Cream (face/body)

Armonia Helix Active Body Lotion (face/body)

Medix 5.5 Retinol and Ferulic Acid Treatment (face/body)

Splurge: LaRoche-Posay Substiane Riche (face)

I prefer layering Olay Retinol two nights in a row then Beauty Glam Hyaluronic serum then Swisse Hyalaronic boost then one night with nothing and start again.

Unless I go to bed drunk in which case all bets are off.

R47 there is absolutely no logic in that routine.

Heard on a different thread that showering/bathing without moisturising causes one to stink, because sweat evaporating off the skins' uppermost layers dries and goes rancid otherwise. True?

Does it take much much more mosturizer to moisturize fat people's flabby skin?

R49 if your sweat is already rancid, nothing will help deodorize it.

[Quote] then Beauty Glam Hyaluronic serum

I like that serum too. Never thought i would see that brand mentioned on DL.

Does anyone still use cocoa butter? I always rub it into my skin in an upward motion.

The derm my grandmother sees says once or twice weekly full-body dry-brushing does more than moisturising for keeping skin firm and glowing and healthy. The caveat is you can't do it too much (every day) otherwise you'll cause micro-abrasions in your skin that will get infected. You also can't brush areas of burned or damaged skin, or do it at all if you have eczema/psoriasis/rosacea etc.

I don't know what any of this means, but it's FORCING me to believe it!

I am trying Asutra products. In the morning, Vit C serum and Hyaluronic Acid. Evening Retinol 2.5% serum on face, neck and upper chest. Found them online after using a magnesium cream for muscle pain. Not expensive and I see real change in texture of my skin.

Company claims products animal free testing, organic, essential oils and plant based.

Never take DL mavens advice on anything. I trust news worthy links from trusted sites like op

R48 a simple Google search will find page upon page of references that disagree with you.

Apart from the getting drunk part.

R47 using retinol one time a week isn’t doing shit

R58 I can Google and find info on how to grow a tit on my forehead too. It doesn’t mean it’s a good idea

Clinique is not cruelty-free so fuck them.

This is a discussion board. I enjoy hearing about people’s recommendations or caveats whether they include the products in the link or not.

Get Malezia. I have dark skin and it's helping in this cold Chicago weather.

They do not test their products on animals r61. Though, China requires sunscreens undergo a test to prove it is effective before it can be sold in the country.

You can either read nor count, R59. Try again.

And perhaps refrain from using expressions such as “isn’t doing shit” if you want to appear even borderline intelligent.

I just got tipped off to a line called stick and carrot. Might try it. Got great reviews.

Dayum, y’all are the bitchiest bitches who ever bitched!!

R64 shove your once a week Olay jar up your cavernous ass

R66 I’ve read about their line. Let me know your thoughts after you try their products. Thx.

Why is this thread so hostile? 😆

BECAUSE IT'S DATALOUNGE, YA FAT WHORE!

R71 THIS ISN'T A DRAINING PASTA THREAD!

Paging Mr. F. Paging Mr. F.

I get irrationally angry at the sight or mention of Drunk Elephant products. I bought their Vitamin C back when it first came on the market, I think it was $80. Didn't do squat. Timeless for $20 was better. Although I long ago abandoned the vitamin c bandwagon. Actually I've abandoned all pricey skincare. If it's not available at Target, I don't need it with the exception of one or two Kiehls products.

May I submit for consideration this $13 fragrance free little gem available at Target.

The holy hydration cream is always sold out. E.l.f is underrated.

R74/R75 OT but my straight sister swears by e.l.f. makeup, especially their concealer sticks.

Drunk Elephant face oil is really amazing, and the bottle last a long time.

CeraVe itch formula is really good for winter

R76 e.l.f makeup can be hit and miss. But i am liking their hydro grip primer.

Nivea Men in the tin, cheap as fuck and it goes ON MY FACE

No thanks r80 not meant for facial skin

r39, I just came back to say I have to stop using the inkey C serum on my neck it's all pinky-red and blotchy. I thought the first time it happened it was just my skin getting used to the serum but I think the amount of l-ascorbic acid is too much for the thinner skin on my neck (no problems using it on my face), so yes, be careful!

I think the name Inkey is dreadful and screams cheap chemicals

Moisture Surge BOGO 2 for 1 today, two 30 Oz hard for $27 plus tax, free shipping

Let me try that again …. Clinique has BOGO …buy one Moisture Surge get another free today. Two one-ounce jays for $27.

2 one-ounce jars

Pissed at Abthr & Body Works. They have But 3, get 3 free. Used to be that shower gels and body lotions cost the same, so you could order 3 lotions and get 3 shower gels free. Now they raised lotion price to $1 more than shower gel. you have to buy 3 shower gels to get 3 free shower gels and 3 lotions to get 3 free lotions.

[Quote] I think the name Inkey is dreadful and screams cheap chemicals

Well it's supposed to be cheaper like The Ordinary brand. I've only used their Oat Cleansing Balm so i can't really say if it's all hype or not.

Whatever happened to Origins? It was the hot shit for awhile but they don't advertise at all.

Another Lauder casualty. It’s still available but a shadow of its former self. A bit like Prescriptives - both created by Lauder then slowly gutted. In the 90s and early 00s it was a nice line and I used several of their products.

R90 for r89. Origins.

Wow, I had no idea Origins was a Lauder product. I remember every depth store had an Origins counter. Haven't been in a mall in 15 years though.

Lab Series for men

E.L.F. Holy Hydration is amazing.

Crème de la Mer

I am poor so I use Vanicream, I think it's good.

Clinique Moisture Surge

R96 Regardless of the price, Vanicream is a good moisturizer. Many of the moisturizers in this thread have fragrance and other irritants which promote inflammation (which can contribute to aging of the skin).

r98 i agree.

clinique moisture surge is fragrance-free as are all clinique products except for colognes.

Clinique Moisture Boost is very nice, I like the thicker texture in a hyaluronic acid product, and I love Emma Hardie vitamin c boost cream, but it definitely has a fragrance, a beautiful neroli scent. These are the two I use daily, along with tretinoin and sunscreen.

R100 in keeping with DL tradition, it’s Clinique “Moisture Surge” not “Moisture Boost”.

The Clinique Moisture Surge overnight mask is great too. I sometimes use it on my hands and arms.

I have the Drunk Elephant moisturizer.

Lately, maybe due to the winter, I’ve been getting dry flaky skin. It’s like in my T-zone area (forehead to nose), around my nostrils, and under my cheeks. It’s been annoying.

So I use hyaluronic acid and then the Drunk Elephant. It’s been working but it’s not fixing it, just helping it until I wake up and there’s flakes.

I won’t use a product with Drunk or Inky in its name.

I tried this about a year ago, fell in love with it, and will continue to use it daily. I also use the ZO Skin Health Calming Toner nightly. Both are worth the price, I think. I want to try some of their other products too. Trying to decide which one.

Should add that the Vit C self-activating lotion is very lightweight. I struggled with oily skin most of my life, so only need a little moisturizing help these days.

Hmm I only supplied a recommendation for face moisturizer. For rest of the body except feet I used Nivea Soft Creme. For feet, plain old Vaseline massaged into dry/chapped areas and cotton socks for a few hours while puttering around the apartment.

Are you still old and puttering in your apartment r107?

R108 - yes. I'm going to putter about some more, then into the kitchen to make homemade gingersnap cookies, and no, I'm not a fat whore. Yet.

Yeah I instantly think people here are old instead of fat.

I also love products by Hada Labo, a Japanese company.

I rubbed my body down with Kiehl’s Crème de Corps and applied Clinique Moisture Surge to my face. I applied [comfort zone] Hydramemory eye gel around my eyes. The metal applicator feels very soothing underneath my peepers.

Oh [comfort zone] Essential cleanser is effective yet gentle

Today's routine. Cleanse with Kiehl's Ultra Cleanser, tone with Kiehl's Milk Peel Toner, treat with IMAGE MD® restoring power-C serum, moisturize and protect with Image PREVENTION+ daily hydrating moisturizer SPF 30+.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for removing a facial sun spot/ dark spot? In the last year I have developed a smallish circle sunspot right on the bridge of my nose. It’s not awful, but it’s noticeable and I’d like to lighten it or have it go away entirely.

I’ve tried some dark spot removers from target, but so far there’s been no change.
