Moisturizers can truly make or break a skincare routine, so testing them properly over time is a must.

After using these for a while, here are my honest thoughts—no sugarcoating, just real results and experiences!

1. Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer

Expectations were high for this one, but the experience didn’t match the hype. Instead of deeply hydrating, it felt surprisingly drying on the skin. The texture works better as a makeup base rather than a true moisturiser, and for the price, the performance just wasn’t there. Unfortunately, this one didn’t deliver what it promised.

2. Dr. Jart+ Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturizing Cream

This cream is a standout and an absolute staple. The formula is rich, deeply nourishing, and incredibly long-lasting. It’s especially amazing during colder months when the skin needs extra care. It strengthens the skin barrier and keeps moisture locked in for extended periods, leaving the skin soft, calm, and protected.

Each moisturizer serves a different purpose, but results matter most. While lightweight formulas have their place, nothing beats a truly barrier-strengthening cream when it comes to long-term skin health. Finding the right moisturiser can transform your routine—and your skin will thank you for it.
