Face creams

Face creams for every skin type

A face cream is the foundation of daily skin care: it hydrates, nourishes and helps keep the skin soft and even. Here you will find light gel creams, richer nourishing creams, products for day and night care and anti-ageing creams from well-known beauty brands.

How to choose the right face cream

The most important factor is your skin type. Oily and combination skin suit light, gel-like textures that do not leave a greasy film, normal skin does well with a hydrating emulsion, and dry or mature skin with a richer, nourishing cream. It also helps to think about when you will use the cream.

• In the daytime: a light day cream hydrates and works well under make-up; many also contain SPF.
• In the evening: a night cream is richer and supports your skin while you rest.
• Around the eyes: thinner skin has its own eye creams.
• Ingredients: hyaluronic acid hydrates, ceramides support the skin barrier and vitamin C brings radiance to the complexion.

Popular brands

The face cream range includes products from Clinique and Estée Lauder, as well as Filorga, Shiseido, Vichy, Clarins and Elizabeth Arden. Each brand has its own lines for different skin types and age groups.

Should I use a face cream in the morning and in the evening?

Yes, in most cases a day cream in the morning and a night cream in the evening works best, because they are formulated for different jobs. The morning cream prepares the skin for the day, the evening one supports it overnight.

How much cream do I need?

A pea-sized amount is usually enough, spread in a thin layer over the face and neck. If your skin feels dry, you can add a little more.

Can the same cream be used on the face and neck?

Many face creams can also be applied to the neck and décolleté. If you want more targeted care, choose products whose packaging mentions use on the face and neck.
