It doesn’t matter if your skincare routine has three steps or thirteen, face moisturiser is an absolute must.
Whether you’re a “cleanse, tone, moisturise” kinda gal or your beauty shelf is full to the brim of the latest and greatest products, finding a moisturiser that draws in moisture, and keeps your skin hydrated, nourished and strong all day and night doesn’t have to be a hard task.
We’ve scoured the web — and tried and tested some ourselves — to find the very best face moisturisers in Australia.
From water gels to moisturisers with active ingredients and anti-ageing formulas, you’re bound to find your new favourite moisturising cream, no matter your skin type.
The Best Face Moisturisers in Australia for Normal Skin
Hydration is the aim of the game if you’ve got normal skin (neither too oily nor too dry). Look for ingredients in your moisturiser that contain ceramides, hyaluronic acid and antioxidants.
If it’s deep hydration you’re after, Alpha-H’s Essential Hydration Cream is a go-to on the richer side. For something a little lighter, Go-To’s Very Luxe Face Cream is a top pick. Looking for something brightening? Andalou uses added vitamin C that promises an increase in skin luminosity.

The Best Face Moisturisers in Australia for Dry Skin
Hydration! If your skin is on the drier side, you’ll want to opt for decadent and thick formulations that will ensure long-lasting hydration but won’t block the pores. Look for the inclusion of hyaluronic acid, which will draw moisture to the skin, as well as ceramides that will protect the skin barrier and lock it all in. The added calendula in Mukti’s nourishing formulation is a treat for the skin.

The Best Face Moisturisers in Australia for Oily Skin
If your skin falls in the oily category, your best bet is to opt for a moisturiser that is lightweight and fast-absorbing. The key is to ensure your skin is being hydrated so it doesn’t try to overcompensate with an increase in oil production. Gels and gel creams are going to be your best friends here. Go-To’s fast-absorbing moisturiser is one of our favourites as it leaves a delightfully matte finish after hydrating your skin.

The Best Face Moisturisers in Australia for Aging Skin
On top of factoring in your skin type, those with mature skin should look out for collagen boosting peptides, low-strength retinol and antioxidants to lift, plump and firm. For those with mature skin on the drier side, Paula’s Choice Intensive Repair Cream‘s rich formula will deliver the hydration you need as well as aiding in restoring skin with added retinol.

The Best Face Moisturisers in Australia for Sensitive Skin
There are plenty of face moisturisers for sensitive skin on the market, but not all of them were created equally. You’ll want to look for fragrance-free formulations (like this Senne Skin one here), as well as ingredients that calm, soothe and hydrate. If your skin is prone to eczema or acne, try Bescher’s Sea Cucumber Collagen Calming Cream which contains plenty of antioxidants that aid in soothing irritation.
