Should I buy lotion, serum or creams? Should I use the sunscreen, fairness cream or anti-wrinkle cream? These simple questions make or break your skin; the right kind of moisturizer at right time is needed to keep your skin young, radiant and healthy.

 

The general principle for deciding the formulation of moisturiser is ‘Thicker the consistency of moisturizer more is moisturizing capacity, but also more are the chances that it will clog your pores.’

To understand the science behind moisturizers, please read, Moisturizers- understanding the basics. Briefly the thickness of formulation increases from serum and gels, followed by lotions then creams, the thickest one are ointments.
