What the gurus are saying

This cream absorbs quickly and feels light, yet the experts keep coming back to how hydrating it still is. Several gurus say it suits dry and dehydrated skin without a greasy finish, and it sits well under sunscreen and makeup. The one thing to keep in mind: those with super dry skin may find it offers too little support, and very acne-prone skin may want to try the other version of this cream.

"I still have the Hyaluronic Acid Moist Cream, [...] and I found myself going, why haven't I been using this more, this is a great winter moisturizer. It's definitely more of a thick product, which [...] as a dry skin type is my love language. For as much as this is an excellent product, I will tell you there is an even better moisturizer for my skin type."
✓Yay
"It's hard to find a good product [...] that works great, protects your skin, hydrates it, doesn't feel too greasy, and works great under foundation without pilling. I really enjoyed this product more than I thought I would. [...] For acne-prone skin, there are a few ingredients of note: cetyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, apricot oil, safflower oil, and vitamin E, so for very acne-prone skin it might be worth checking out the other version of this. At 3.38 ounces for 14 bucks, it's a bargain."
✓Yay
"The consistency is very lightweight and also very moisturizing, so it does a good job addressing dry skin without feeling greasy or heavy. [...] It has ceramides which are good for the moisture barrier, and matrixyl which is a peptide that may help in improving the look of fine lines."
✓Yay
"It's a cream but it's still really lightweight so I think it's really great to use in the morning under sunscreen. But for me as someone who prefers something ultra rich and nourishing at night, I find this to not be enough. And so if you have super dry skin, you may not also find this to offer enough support for your skin. But otherwise I love using this in the morning in the winter time."

How to apply topical retinoid, tips from dermatologist | Dr. Jenny Liu
"This is a lightweight cream that absorbs really quickly. It contains 10 different types of hyaluronic acid. The formulation for my skin, for my combination dry skin, I love using in the morning because it's lightweight but hydrating, still supporting my skin but won't cause peeling or problems under sunscreen. I recommend applying it on damp skin all over your face, then wait for about maybe 5 minutes or so for that to fully absorb."

"Another one that I really have been loving lately, that's very hydrating, moisturizing but not heavy, is from Isntree, their Hyaluronic Acid Moist Cream. It is a cream that absorbs really quickly, has various different blends of hyaluronic acid and plant-derived oils. It's nourishing but not heavy, and so I love it. Right now it's my nighttime moisturizer, but I envision that in the middle of winter, when it's really dead cold, it would probably make a really nice one to use in the morning."

"Isntree's Hyaluronic Acid Moist Cream retails for 13.32 and this is just an all around rockstar that's suitable for all skin types. It's a cream texture that contains various different blends of hyaluronic acid that hydrates, works well to help with dehydrated skin, and does not leave your skin feeling greasy, shiny, sticky, or heavy."
✓Yay
"The Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Moist Cream [...] is really unique. I like it because it feels very lightweight but it is so, so nourishing, and for people who have dry skin who don't like putting on a thick cream but feel like they really need that moisture and they actually want to feel their moisturizer on their skin, this is what that does."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
