Gel or cream moisturizer? How to choose the right one for your skin?
When it comes to moisturizer, one of the most common dilemmas is choosing between a gel or cream formula. So, which one is right for you? Let’s break it down.
(Both gels and creams have their own advantages.)
For gel, it is a lightweight, water-based formula that absorbs quickly into the skin without feeling greasy. Gels are typically clear or translucent and leave a refreshing, non-sticky finish.
As for cream, it is a thicker, more emollient-based formula that provides deeper hydration and nourishment. Creams have a denser consistency and are ideal for locking in moisture.
(Both gels and creams have their own advantages, and the best choice depends on your skin type, concerns, and climate.)
If you’re unsure, you can always start with a gel in the morning for a light, refreshing feel and use a cream at night for deep hydration.
Our DermaHydra Moisturizer and DermaDNA PPB Cream are both gel-cream hybrids, made to deliver deep hydration without the weight. They absorb fast like a gel, but comfort your skin like a cream — perfect for both day and night use.
