I've been using a water-based moisturizer, literally, since I can remember. I am obsessed with them and tell everyone who listens (also known as my friends) why they should use one as soon as possible. They moisturize my skin without giving my face a feeling of suffocation, sticky or greasy. Another bonus? They move into my skin in a few minutes , so I am never stressed when I look shiny. And because they 're full of super moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin and vitamin E , they're as moisturizing as heavier creams, you trust.

Already sold? Thought so. Now that you're switching to a water-based moisturizer, keep scrolling to find the one that works best for you.
