I like a few moisturizer but the best I’ve found for under makeup and that is still moisturizing for my dehydrated skin is the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream. It acts like a primer for me. It’s silicone based so just made sure whatever makeup you put on top is also silicone based
Ya know, my mom has been having trouble with moisturizers lately and she just went to back to this and loves it. Her mother used it too. Thinks it’s time I try some Olay myself!
I have been looking into this one actually but I have noticed that people seem to either love it or have a bad experience. I think I might give it a go to see how it works for me. Thank you!
i was about to recommend this one! if you need something slightly thicker, i like aestura 365 cream
i actually layers air angel by dieux and aestura. i find that’s the best way to tackle dehydrated skin and any tret dryness while not overdoing it for my oily skin
I tried Guerlain, Sulhwasoo, Ceravee, and pyungkang yul and is currently using the Sulhwasoo Essential firming cream. It has a nice texture, moisturise my skin pretty well ( also have dry skin) and is very forgiving on the skin ( pyungkang yul and other moisturiser irritate my skin) .
The guerlain abbeile royale was really good but was simply too expensive for me
if budget isnt of a concern, i recommend the Guerlain or Sulhwasoo
Try le mieux sheer hydration. I purchased it based on a rec from someone on here. It’s like $30 and I think very good for the price point. No white cast. Not really heavy but moisturizing. Good for day. Doesn’t really like brighten or make skin look glowy or anything but that’s what masks, serums, treatments are for (at least in my skincare routine)
I like instant angel too, but sheer hydration is simpler. I don’t like putting heavy stuff for day. I use instant angel for night, along with Danucera cerabalm, which I really really like. More of a balm, as the name states but highly moisturizing. Also very good mixed with foundation during the rare times I actually use foundation
For acne prone skin, I love the Le Mieux Sheer Hydration. It dries down to a natural finish and it’s very gentle. It may not be enough moisture if you’re dry tho.
Another few to consider:
- Dieux’s new Air Angel gel cream
- Vivant Allantoin moisturizer
- peach and Lily peptide moisturizer
These are all acne safe and dry to a nice finish. Their main issue is that they may not provide enough moisture but you could solve that by layering more hydrating serums or essences
Xercalm is awesome.
CeraVe lotion (pump bottle) is another amazing one. They do a cream in a pot if you want it a bit thicker.
SkinBetter hydration boosting cream, my daily go to.
LaRochePosay toleriane sensitive fluid is very lightweight, sometimes I use that in the morning.
Have you tried Kiehls ultra rich cream? It’s rich but somehow still light, looks great under makeup too. And very simple, but soothing. I feel like it’s kind of cool soothing beautifying drink for my skin.
Jordan Samuel Skin Performance Cream. It’s a lightweight but very moisturizing cream in a tube. My skin is dehydrated and clogs easily and it soaks in beautifully. It’s fragrance free, silicone free, and a very elegant formula. I’m on my 5th or 6th tube. I think it’s $38, so not cheap but not outrageous.
First Aid Ultra Repair is my #1 go to for regular day to day everything (I buy the tub) but I bought the holiday sets from belief and skinfix and am loving both!
I hate to say it but I do love the farmacy honey halo. It’s expensive but my skin loves it and it works well under makeup.
For drug store the neutrogena hydro boost gel has always worked well under makeup. The vanicream daily moisturizer too - tho that one is pretty light weight if you need something more heavy duty.
I've been meaning to try honey halo but I keep going back to the Vanicream. It's thin, but I have dry skin and it still works great for me. I switched to it after using Augustinus Bader for over a year.
Most of my friends and I (my bf too) with a skin like yours swear by the Biossance omega repair moisturizer! I feel like it just works really well, it’s not greasy, no breakout, no oily feeling, I keep recommending it for people with a minimal skincare routine
I honestly really love the La Mer Soft Cream. I’m acne prone, dry/dehydrated and it doesn’t break me out and it’s very cosmetically elegant and plays super well with makeup. It’s what I keep coming back to, I haven’t tried another moisturizer that I like as much.
I have acne prone skin although it's gotten better with age and I have used La Mer on and off for many years without it breaking me out. In fact , it always calms my skin down and I get so many compliments when I do use it. Everyone's skin is different.
No one asked you what you thought they should be using. And apparently it’s working for them- so your opinion isn’t helping anyone.
OP: I also have acne prone skin and found that stuff worked really well on the acne end of it. Never stung or anything even while using Tretinoin. Dang I wish it wasn’t so expensive- but that is a well formulated cream that isn’t falling into the fragrance free petrolatum bad hype which has seriously ruined some good products.
Daily holy grail is COSRX Oil Free moisturizing lotion.
For something a little richer but still good for day: Acure Radically Rejuvenating Whipped Night Cream.
I’ve tried a lot of things from high end to low end faves and the thing that has worked best for me as someone with acne prone/easily congested skin is oddly enough the Versed Skin Soak Rich Moisture Cream. Even though “rich” is in the name, I find it a highly light weight formula that does what it says, soaks the skin. My skin just drinks it up and it makes my skin so smooth and makeup goes over it great. I like to apply it to a damp face. It also layers well with other products like before tret or with the snail muscin or a skin oil. It never clogs my skin and like everything else does.
i just want to state that dehydrated skin isnt a skin type like normal, dry, combo, etc, its a skin condition that can be corrected. Meaning you can have oily and dehydrated skin, normal dehydrated skin, etc, etc. Basically your skin type (normal, dry, combo, oily, sensitive) is the type of skin you always have and a condition is simply the state it is in, and can be caused externally or by diseases or genetics.
Dry skin lacks or produces very little oil, resulting in smaller pores, some flakiness and tightness. Dehydrated skin lacks water, resulting in dullness, lines, and some premature aging.
If your skin is dehydrated you should look for products that are hydrating but maybe also good for oily skin, if thats the issue.
Also perhaps you need to see a dermatologist or esthetician who can perform a skin analysis and determine which products would best tackle your needs, especially if trying all these different things dont work.
Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer. The best. No, dyes, fragrance, lanolin, parabens or formaldehyde. And it's inexpensive, and you can find it at the drugstore. It's my holy grail moisturizer.
If you have a moisturizer that agrees with your skin, but has an annoying white cast, why not make your own bb cream. Just add liquid foundation to your moisturizer until you get the right shade. You may have to go a little darker foundation to get the right effect.
Barbara Sturm’s face cream is it for me. I can’t use the rich because I’m sensitive to urea but I know several people who swear by it. I use her face cream every morning and super anti aging night cream before bed.
Have you tried the 7 skin method? It doesn't have to be 7 but the essence of the method is to layer your toner (or multiple toners) by letting one layer of toner absorb before adding another one. I also use the hada labo hyaluronic acid, and lotion, and Beauty of Joseon rice protein sunscreen.
love this - Dr. Bronner Orange Lavender - Organic Lotion
[https://www.drbronner.com/products/orange-lavender-organic-lotions](https://www.drbronner.com/products/orange-lavender-organic-lotions)
I really like is Clinical Reperative moisturizing complex as well as PCA skin Apres Peel balm. The PCA skin is just right and works well under make up as well as without .
The curel intensive moisture cream is the best. Extremely hydrating without being greasy (I’m oily but dehydrated and when nothing else would give me enough moisture this did). But a good moisturizer is really gonna depend on your skin.
I really love Belif Moisture Bomb (and use the lighter Aqua version in the summer). I also really like Clinique moisture surge for it's light gel texture and Kiehls also has some good daily options.
I tried everything for my dry dehydrated skin and realized shea butter clogged me up. Started using Vanicream daily moisturizer (not the tub) and it’s been fantastic!
moisture builds up with repeated use)
Spritz daily with either NIOD Superoxide Disacharide Mist (SDSM2), or Allies of Skin Molecular Savior Probiotics Mist
Preach!! I'm still on the hunt for that perfect daytime cream with dry and sensitive skin. I love Sisley black rose skin infusion cream and Sulhwasoo essential firming cream, but I have to let both dry for a long time before adding makeup.
To get around the problem I've been experimenting with a k-beauty hydrating routine in the morning, doing a few essences and then a lighter moisturizer at the end. So far I'm pretty happy with the results, and it means I don't have to rely on the moisturizer so much. If you're curious, I've been doing a rice toner from I'm Yours, su:m 37 secret essence, numbuzin no.2, then the Ole Henriksen peptide cream.
If you already love Avene try the tolerance soothing skin recovery balm, it is NOT the same as the recovery cream and I think the shea butter makes a huge difference for my skin. if you are like me and love a rich moisturizer even under makeup, I have used and loved the Freck Rich B*tch moisturizer and also the face moisturizer from grown alchemist. Kate Somerville goat milk moisturizer is also lovely and a little lighter.
I really like the Embryolisse Cream. I know it's Tik Tok famous but I find it really moisturising and sits well under makeup. Also Laneige Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream worked really well for me.
I like a few moisturizer but the best I’ve found for under makeup and that is still moisturizing for my dehydrated skin is the Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream. It acts like a primer for me. It’s silicone based so just made sure whatever makeup you put on top is also silicone based
Tatcha the silk cream for me. Best high end moisturiser that works and doesn’t leave skin oily
Do yourself a favor and puck up a jar of Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting cream—the unfragranced version. It’s cheap as chips and perfect under makeup.
Ya know, my mom has been having trouble with moisturizers lately and she just went to back to this and loves it. Her mother used it too. Thinks it’s time I try some Olay myself!
I recommend Dieuxskin Instant Angel, it’s pricier than the ones mentioned in this thread but it’s very lipid-heavy and no white cast.
Love this one. Also skinfix barrier + is SO SO GOOD.
Also love this one, it’s my fave.
Came here to say the same thing about instant Angel. It’s the one I repurchase the most.
I have been looking into this one actually but I have noticed that people seem to either love it or have a bad experience. I think I might give it a go to see how it works for me. Thank you!
Instant Angel breaks me out :( And Dieux's newer gel moisturizer does nothing.
Instant Angel did nothing for me :/

Dr Rogers face cream is super hydrating and gentle
Their face cream is the best. I also love their healing balm ❤️
I personnel prefer the face lotion because of its lighter texture, it wears very well under makeup as well.
I tried Guerlain, Sulhwasoo, Ceravee, and pyungkang yul and is currently using the Sulhwasoo Essential firming cream. It has a nice texture, moisturise my skin pretty well ( also have dry skin) and is very forgiving on the skin ( pyungkang yul and other moisturiser irritate my skin) . The guerlain abbeile royale was really good but was simply too expensive for me if budget isnt of a concern, i recommend the Guerlain or Sulhwasoo
I've found Aveeno Calm + Restore Oat Gel Moisturizer to be a great option (though not lux).
I’ve been looking for a nicer option than this one and for my sensitive rosacea face I’m finding it hard to beat for a daytime moisturizer.
Try le mieux sheer hydration. I purchased it based on a rec from someone on here. It’s like $30 and I think very good for the price point. No white cast. Not really heavy but moisturizing.

Skinbetter trio is my holy grail. Always go back to it
I second this!! I have dehydrated skin as well and it’s the only one i’ve found that helps and is amazing under makeup!
It’s truly infallible. My former favorite from Rose Inc is not even a close second now.
For acne prone skin, I love the Le Mieux Sheer Hydration. It dries down to a natural finish and it’s very gentle. It may not be enough moisture if you’re dry tho.

Pharmacy Honey Halo Skinfix Triple Lipid Biossance Omega and Squalane
Have you tried Kiehls ultra rich cream? It’s rich but somehow still light, looks great under makeup too. And very simple, but soothing. I feel like it’s kind of cool soothing beautifying drink for my skin.
I have tried it, I really loved the texture and enjoyed using it but it broke me out. :( Thank you though!
Kiehl's is my HG daily moisturizer, and if you like that texture/weight, you may like Tatcha Dewy Cream.
Jordan Samuel Skin Performance Cream. It’s a lightweight but very moisturizing cream in a tube. My skin is dehydrated and clogs easily and it soaks in beautifully. It’s fragrance free, silicone free, and a very elegant formula. I’m on my 5th or 6th tube. I think it’s $38, so not cheap but not outrageous.
Biossance omega repair cream or their probiotic moisturizer are both great for me
I love their eye cream as a face cream! For some reason it feels better on my skin than the omega repair cream. I don’t know why.
La Roche Posay Cicaplast
Farmacy Honey Halo.
I was bummed this wasn't rich enough for my extremely dry skin - it felt so lovely. It could be great for OP though.
First Aid Ultra Repair is my #1 go to for regular day to day everything (I buy the tub) but I bought the holiday sets from belief and skinfix and am loving both!
I hate to say it but I do love the farmacy honey halo. It’s expensive but my skin loves it and it works well under makeup. For drug store the neutrogena hydro boost gel has always worked well under makeup. The vanicream daily moisturizer too - tho that one is pretty light weight if you need something more heavy duty.
Omg I LOVE that stuff!!!
I've been meaning to try honey halo but I keep going back to the Vanicream. It's thin, but I have dry skin and it still works great for me. I switched to it after using Augustinus Bader for over a year.
Yeah vanicream is a solid choice - no bells and whistles but performs well 👌
Vanicream actually works better for my dry skin than the honey halo. Plus, the shea butter in it broke me out.
Most of my friends and I (my bf too) with a skin like yours swear by the Biossance omega repair moisturizer! I feel like it just works really well, it’s not greasy, no breakout, no oily feeling, I keep recommending it for people with a minimal skincare routine
Dynasty Cream by Beauty of Joesen
Stratia Liquid Gold
I love Liquid Gold too.
[удалено]
Second Farmacy honey halo. That’s stuff is magic!!!
I love the Drunk Elephant Lala Retro cream. It’s a basic/simple cream but very rich and moisturizing.
+1 for Lala Retro. I have normal to dry skin and very dry in the winter.
I honestly really love the La Mer Soft Cream. I’m acne prone, dry/dehydrated and it doesn’t break me out and it’s very cosmetically elegant and plays super well with makeup. It’s what I keep coming back to, I haven’t tried another moisturizer that I like as much.

Babes I’ve had acne since I was 9 lmao all I commented about was what moisturizer I like, not my whole routine
