Thick moisturizers for the face

When lightweight lotions stop being enough, a richer cream provides the cushion dry and mature skin craves. The thick moisturizers here layer occlusive and lipid ingredients over humectants, so they seal in water and leave skin soft and comfortable through the night.

Editor's picks

SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 is a rich, barrier-restoring cream for depleted skin. Obagi Hydrate Luxe is an ultra-rich overnight balm with shea, and SkinMedica TNS Ceramide Treatment Cream pairs deep nourishment with growth factors. Obagi Rebalance Barrier Recovery Cream is a thick option for a stressed barrier.

How to use a rich cream

A thicker cream works best as the final night step, over damp skin and any treatment serums. If a heavy cream feels like too much by day, save it for nighttime and use a lighter lotion under morning SPF.
