Moisturizers 101: How to Find the One That’s Right for You

Moisturizers 101: How to Find the One That’s Right for You

The French approach to skincare is less is more—with an emphasis on quality formulas that deliver steady results. So, when we set out to create our moisturizers, we knew we wanted to keep it simple and effective, but add that little touch of luxury and indulgence. (That’s our mission, TBH.) Our three moisturizers are packed with magnifique, clean, cruelty-free ingredients and—best of all—made to support all skin types and concerns. 

How to Choose the Right Moisturizer 

Whether your skin craves rich moisture or weightless hydration, the key is finding a formula that meets your skin’s needs and feels good to use. Here’s a quick guide to picking your perfect moisturizer match. 

If your skin is oily, combination, or breakout-prone: 
Choose light, breathable formulas that pack in hydration yet feel weightless on the skin. 

These moisturizers are especially great for hot, humid summer days, too. 

If your skin is dry, dehydrated, or dull:
Choose rich, comforting formulas that offer satisfying hydration and help lock moisture into the skin. 

These moisturizers are also ideal for cooler weather or overnight use.

If your skin is visibly irritated or your barrier is compromised: 

Choose repairing formulas that help strengthen and reinforce your barrier, and soothe the skin

With that, let’s get into the details of our moisturizers, their benefits, and how to use them. 

Daydream Crème: Lightweight Daily Moisture 

Daydream Crème Daily Lightweight Moisturizer has a milky texture that feels weightless on the skin, but packs in serious hydration. Powered by vegan collagen, ashwagandha, and immortal flower, this formula has a plumping effect on the skin that helps restore bounciness and bonus: a subtle glow, too. It’s a great option for those with oily and breakout-prone skin, or anyone who is looking for a lightweight, breathable layer for hot summer days. 

Daydream Crème should be applied after serums and before SPF during the day. 

Bleu Cloud: Rich Overnight Moisture  

Bleu Cloud Night Recovery Moisturizer has a cushiony, cloud-like texture that delivers rich hydration without feeling heavy. Formulated with hyaluronic acid, peptides, and blue tansy, it works overnight to replenish moisture, visibly smooth skin, and support the skin barrier while you sleep. Skin is more soft, comforted, and hydrated by morning. It’s an ideal choice for dry, dull, or dehydrated skin, or anyone in need of a nourishing nighttime reset.

Bleu Cloud should be applied as the final step in your evening routine, after serums and treatments.

Bare Lumière: Barrier Repair Cream

Bare Lumière Barrier Repair Cream is a unique, multitasking formula that hydrates and soothes skin, supports the skin barrier and microbiome, and provides a smooth, glowing canvas for makeup. It’s barrier support, and then some! 

Formulated with ectoin, encapsulated probiotics, and aloe vera, this moisturizer helps soothe visible irritation that might be caused by external aggressors, and leaves skin smoother and more calm. It's an ideal choice for those who have overdone it with actives (like retinol or AHA and BHA). 

Bonus: As mentioned above, Bare Lumière is also a great moisturizer to use before makeup, as it creates a smooth, hydrated, glowing base. Try it under your foundation or concealer! 

Bare Lumière should be applied to clean, dry skin as the final step in your morning routine, before SPF and makeup, or on its own for a fresh, just-back-from-Provence glow.
