La Mer Crème de la Mer

La Mer’s Crème de la Mer is la crème de la crème, one could say—especially if one were Chrissy Teigen or Kim Kardashian West. A celebrity favorite, this moisturizer is the stuff of legend, seriously, with a mysterious origin story involving a rocket scientist and a medium. Once you dab a little bit of this miracle worker on your skin, you’ll want to know how it was made too—the sea-sourced elixir in it soothes, smoothes, and moisturizes while restoring your skin to its natural vibrance. Make the application even more decadent by warming the product in your hand before using; once it turns translucent, you’ll know it’s ready to use.

BEST MOISTURIZERS FOR OILY SKIN

Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion

This product is beloved by dermatologists and makeup vloggers alike for its oil-free moisture, which is perfect for blemish-prone skin. It does more than hydrate: just a dollop will matte-ify your skin and minimize the appearance of pores for a smooth and shine-free face. Under the surface, retinol works to keep your cells young while arnica soothes any irritation. It’s the perfect go-to moisturizer to treat any skin imperfections, and it’s especially great during the summer months—apply it to your face, neck, and chest for skin as smooth as you.
