Face creams & emulsions: hydration, comfort and barrier care every day
If you are looking for face creams that can handle tightness, dryness and the first fine lines, you are in the right place. Here you will find a moisturising face cream, a light gel emulsion for combination skin, as well as a comforting barrier cream with ceramides and panthenol without fragrance for sensitive skin. The goal is always the same: a cream that layers well under SPF and make-up, brings calm and overnight recovery in the evening and works as the “best face cream” for your actual skin – not just according to reviews.

EDITOR’S NOTES
Face creams and emulsions: how to choose the right face cream (day & night)
A face cream is the last step that decides whether your skin will feel comfortable after the rest of the routine. In the morning you want a lighter moisturising face cream that absorbs quickly and sits well under SPF 50+ and make-up. In the evening you will appreciate a more nourishing night cream or a barrier cream with ceramides and panthenol that helps when skin feels tight, flaky or sensitised after active serums.
We are not looking for “one universal best face cream”, but for a cream that makes sense for your skin: dry, combination, sensitive or more mature with a tendency to fine lines.
By skin type
For dry skin, look for a “face cream for dry skin” with ceramides and oils. For combination skin, choose a light gel cream; for reactive skin, a fragrance-free cream with panthenol. More mature skin will benefit from an anti-wrinkle cream combined with SPF and gentle actives.
By texture (how it feels)
A light emulsion / gel face cream is ideal for daytime and warmer months. A medium-rich cream suits most normal and combination skin types all year round. A rich cream is a “blanket” for dry and winter-stressed skin. If your T-zone is oilier, combine a lighter cream in the morning and a richer one only at night.
By ingredients (barrier & calm)
If you are focusing on the skin barrier and sensitivity, look for a ceramide cream, squalane and a panthenol cream without fragrance. The combination of panthenol + ceramides helps calm redness and reduce water loss. For dull skin, reach for a cream with niacinamide; for a “honey glow” effect, choose propolis.
How your cream fits into the routine
A simple order that works in real life
A cream works best when it follows a logical order of steps. Stick to the basic framework and add more complex actives only once your barrier is stable.
You will find a more detailed guide in the article How to layer skincare correctly (AM/PM) .
I want to tackle winter, tightness and flakiness – which cream should I choose?
For colder months, richer barrier face creams with squalane, ceramides and panthenol work best. Look for phrases such as “barrier cream for sensitive skin” or “fragrance-free winter face cream” and let your skin enjoy layering: hydration → cream → SPF in the morning. A practical guide is in the article Barrier & winter comfort .
Is there a “best face cream for men”?
For men, a combination of a moisturising face cream for men plus SPF often works best. The feeling on the skin is key: after shaving, choose a lighter fragrance-free gel cream; for dry skin, a richer texture with panthenol and ceramides. You can find inspiration in the category Men’s skincare.
