14 Natural Moisturizers to Keep Your Skincare Shelf Super Clean

This dermatologist-tested face cream features a uniquely fluffy texture that feels so lightweight, but still manages to deliver major hydration. The formula includes a blend of apothecary herbs including comfrey leaf that reduces inflammation and boosts the cell renewal process.

"This goes on light does not leave a heavy, greasy feel," says Ipster suzanne_land07. "I could tell a difference within a few days of using it."

When your skin is feeling dry, a night cream is a super easy and effective way to add back moisture overnight.

This night cream includes squalane, an oil that mimics the body's natural oils, as well as regenerative rosehip oil.

"Excellent, quick-absorbing, super moisturizing, skin-soothing night cream," says Ipster camsheries. "Not too heavy or greasy, leaves my skin feeling so soft, hydrated, and rejuvenated!"

"This moisturizer is so good," one Ipster writes. "It is super thick but not greasy at all. I noticed a difference in the softness of my skin around the eye area immediately after applying."

Japanese purple rice extract gives this hydrating cream a natural, gorgeous lavender tint. The special ingredient is also rich in antioxidants that help to protect against stress, pollution, and UV damage. In addition, moisture barrier-boosting ceramides and Okinawa algae, a powerful humectant, team up to keep skin hydrated and soft.
