Brand Frank Body Product Everyday Face Moisturiser Available from frankbody.com Price $21.95 Perfect for anyone wanting a cheap, no-fuss product. We’re awarding bonus points as it’s made in Aus. A very thin formula that’s slightly greasy means it won’t be for everyone though. Hydration level Low Rating Brand Ella Baché Product Eternal+ Day Cream Available from Ella Baché salons, David Jones Price $135 Highly recommend. The rich formula glides easily onto the skin with a slightly powdery finish, perfect for under makeup. It features a cocktail of ingredients that stimulate the skin’s natural repair processes and form a protective layer for the skin. NB: once applied, it does feel a little heavier than other daily moisturisers. Hydration level High Rating Brand Kiehl’s Product Ultra Facial Cream Available from Kiehl’s Price $39 This product has a cult following and it’s not hard to see why. The lightweight formula is a breeze to apply and sinks quickly into the skin. It’s designed to draw moisture from the air and replenish skin throughout the day. However, it can leave your face feeling a little greasy towards the end of the day. Still, it’s good for the price. Hydration level High Rating

Brand For Beloved One Product Hyaluronic Acid Tri-Molecules Moisturising Surge Cream Available from Sephora Price $110 Big call, but this moisturiser will become your ‘beloved’ one. The cream turns into micro-water molecules once in contact with skin, while Hyaluronic Acid keeps skin firm. We aren’t 100 per cent sure what this all means, but it works a treat. It’s non-greasy, lightweight and keeps skin feeling balanced and hydrated. Hydration level Medium - high Rating Brand Perricone MD Product Face Finishing Moisturiser Available from mecca.com.au Price $115 This product has been a long-time fave. The thin formula glides on and keeps skin hydrated all day. Suitable for all skin types and leaves your complexion looking and feeling dewy. On the pricier side, but a little goes a long way. Hydration level Medium - high Rating Brand Malin+Goetz Product Vitamin E Face Moisturiser Available from mecca.com.au Price $70 You’ll see instant results from this thin, non-greasy formula. It’s quick drying and great on sensitive skin too. Another bonus, the oil-free formula makes it perf for acne-prone skin. Hydration level Medium Rating
