10 best water-based moisturizers of 2020 - face creams for oily skin - cosmopolitan

@patrickta Instagram

I've literally used a water-based moisturizer for as long as I can remember. I am obsessed with them and will tell anyone who hears (aka my friends) why they should use one as soon as possible. They moisturize my skin without giving my face a choking, sticky, or oily feeling. Another bonus? They move into my skin in a few minutes , so I don't worry that they look shiny. And since they contain super moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin and vitamin E , they are just as moisturizing as heavier creams. Trust.

Already sold? So I thought about it. Now that you're switching to a water-based moisturizer, keep scrolling to find the one that's right for you.
