A moisturiser is its own category, but it is technically any product that prevents dryness in the skin. I tend to not get too caught up in types of products. I focus more on their ingredients. It’s not the texture that makes a difference, but when people think of hydration, they think of a rich, creamy, fluffy moisturiser that smells like pot pourri. But much thinner, lightweight serums can provide the same level of hydration, while having longer-lasting effects.
