Moisturizer

Q: What's the difference between a moisturiser and a hydrating serum?

A: Hydrating serums (with hyaluronic acid or glycerin) draw water to the skin. Moisturizers combine emollients (which soften) and occlusives (which seal moisture in). Both steps together deliver the best results for most skin types.

Q: Should oily skin still use a moisturiser?

A: Yes — all skin types benefit from moisturizing. For oily skin, choose a lightweight, non-comedogenic gel or fluid formula.

Q: When should moisturiser be applied?

A: Immediately after cleansing while skin is still slightly damp for best moisture retention.

Q: What makes lanolin particularly effective for very dry skin?

A: Lanolin is structurally similar to human sebum and integrates well with the skin's natural lipid layer. It is both an emollient and an occlusive — widely regarded as one of the most effective natural ingredients for very dry or rough skin.
