Lean, Mean Hydrating Machines
"I've tried a ton of moisturizers over the years, and this drugstore product is far and away my favorite. It's so soft and creamy, and it smells like vacation!"
—Erin Nicole, Senior Lifestyle Editor
"This lightweight gel is both refreshing and brightening, and even on an oily AF T-zone like mine, it manages to hydrate without making me look like a grease machine."
—Samantha McDonald, News Editor
"This moisturizer feels amazing—the texture is the perfect cream consistency that's fluffy and lightweight. It absorbs really quickly, leaving your face hydrated and soothed all day. And a little goes a long way."
—Amy Lee, Fashion Editor
"My skin is super parched and while the idea of face butter scared me at first, it's actually super lightweight, fast absorbing and smells delicious for summer. Ingredients like vitamin E, watermelon seed oil, shea butter and fresh cucumber honestly sound like a delicious salad, but they're wonderfully protective for skin, while the argan oil is intensely nourishing."
—Laura Lajiness, Fashion Editor
"I have oily skin and have always struggled to find a daily moisturizer that will hydrate without leaving me shiny or (God forbid) clogging my precious pores. I love this oil-based formula that goes on super light and absorbs in seconds."
—Angela Melero, Managing Editor
"I only use water-based moisturizers as they're gentle enough for my acne-prone skin. This Sunday Riley option is like a drink of water for your skin and leaves it feeling so soft. Plus, it smells amazing."
—Andrea Navarro, Associate Beauty Editor
"I've never used up an entire face cream so quickly as this one. From the second I popped the water-based cream open, I couldn't put it down. I have oily skin, so I'm obsessed with how hydrated it keeps my complexion without exacerbating the problem. I'm already on my second jar in three months!"
—Stephanie Montes, Beauty Director
"I'm obsessed with the entire line, but this moisturizer really quenches my dry skin. The cocktail of peptides, vitamins and grape stem cells has noticeably improved my skin's texture and tone without being greasy or heavy."
—Nicky Deam, Editorial Director
"This is legit amazing. The blend of luxe active ingredients evens out my skin tone, douses my skin in antioxidants and provides tons of hydration without feeling sticky or greasy."
—Allie Flinn, Associate Lifestyle Editor
