Best moisturizer in Pakistan for your skin type

One daily moisturizer, and one night treatment in a cream base. The Hydrating Moisturiser is the daily one, light enough for humidity and large enough at 120 ml to use on face and neck twice a day. Hydra Glow Cream is not a plain moisturizer: it is a retinol 0.3% treatment for two to three nights a week to start, not for pregnancy, and not to be layered with another retinol product.

How to choose

Buy on price per millilitre, not price

A 50 ml jar at Rs. 3,299 and a 120 ml bottle at Rs. 1,249 are not close: that is Rs. 66 per millilitre against Rs. 10. Moisturiser is the step you are meant to use twice a day on face and neck, so running out early is how the cheaper-looking bottle ends up costing more over a year.

Oily skin still needs one

Skin can produce plenty of oil and still be short of water, and a dehydrated barrier answers by producing more oil. Skipping moisturizer is one of the reasons oily skin stays oily. The lighter texture is the answer, not no texture.

Pick the texture for the season, not the label

Lahore in July and Lahore in January need different amounts of the same thing. A light cream-gel is comfortable through humidity and still enough in winter if you apply it to damp skin and use a little more. A heavy cream that feels right in December will sit on the skin and pill under sunscreen from May. If you only buy one, buy the lighter one and adjust the amount.

Read what is in it, not what it promises

The ingredients that do the work in a moisturizer are well known: humectants such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin pull water in, ceramides and cholesterol hold it there, and niacinamide supports the barrier and tone. Look for a full ingredient list and stated percentages. A moisturizer sold in Pakistan with neither, or one promising whitening, is telling you more about its marketing than its formula.

Common questions

Which is the best moisturizer in Pakistan?

The best moisturizer is the one light enough to use morning and night all year in Pakistani humidity. Elluvi Hydrating Moisturiser is a 120 ml cream-gel with 5% niacinamide, 1% hyaluronic acid, 1% alpha arbutin, ceramides and aloe, at Rs. 1,249, formulated in Germany.

What is the best moisturizer for oily skin in Pakistan?

A gel or cream-gel texture with niacinamide. Oily skin still loses water, and a dehydrated barrier answers with more oil, so the fix is a lighter moisturizer rather than none. Elluvi Hydrating Moisturiser is a cream-gel with 5% niacinamide that does not leave a greasy finish.

What is the best moisturizer for dry skin in Pakistan?

One with humectants and barrier lipids — hyaluronic acid to draw water in, ceramides and cholesterol to hold it. Apply it to damp skin straight after washing and use a slightly more generous amount in winter. Elluvi Hydrating Moisturiser has hyaluronic acid 1% and ceramides, in a 120 ml bottle that lasts at twice-daily use.

Can I use a moisturizer with niacinamide every day?

Yes. Niacinamide at 5% is a well-tolerated, everyday ingredient and works morning and night. It contains fragrance, so patch test first if your skin reacts easily.

Is a night cream the same as a moisturizer?

Not always. Hydra Glow Cream is a 0.3% retinol treatment in a cream base, for two to three nights a week to start and not during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your daily moisturizer is separate, and goes on every morning and on the nights you are not using retinol.

Moisturizer price in Pakistan?

Elluvi Hydrating Moisturiser (120 ml) is Rs. 1,249 and Hydra Glow Cream (50 ml) is Rs. 1,449. Compare on price per millilitre: a 50 ml jar at Rs. 3,299 is about Rs. 66 per ml, a 120 ml bottle at Rs. 1,249 about Rs. 10.

Do I need sunscreen if I use a moisturizer?

Yes. A moisturizer hydrates, sunscreen protects, and in Pakistan's UV most visible ageing and dark spots come from sun. Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50 every morning on top of your moisturizer.
