        TL;DR<\/p>\n

        \n

        La Roche-Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer is a tried-and-true favorite for a reason: It effectively hydrates the skin for hours without a greasy residue. Byrdie testers and editors also love the Glow Recipe Cloudberry Bright Moisture Cream, thanks to its ultra-nourishing, glow-boosting formula.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

        The best daily face moisturizer will hydrate your skin without irritating it, prompting unwanted acne, or turning it into a shiny oil slick. Still, everyone has preferences, and when skin concerns and budgets are involved, the search for a good moisturizer becomes more complex.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

        So Byrdie editors and contributors spent months testing the most popular moisturizers\u2014from tried-and-true drugstore moisturizers to dermatologist-loved facial creams. We tested more than 100 options on different skin types and ages, considering each formula\u2019s consistency, absorption into the skin, and whether it lives up to its promises of addressing specific skin concerns ranging from dullness and dryness to anti-aging and uneven skin texture. Plus, we tapped several board-certified dermatologists for a list of their all-time favorite facial moisturizers, which, unsurprisingly, coincided with our editors\u2019 picks.\n<\/p>\n
