Natural Face Moisturiser and Face Cream for Every Skin Type
Looking for the best moisturiser for skin that feels tight by lunchtime and shiny by three? You're far from alone. Most of us own a few half-used jars because a label can't tell you how a cream will feel on your face at 4 pm. The answer is usually in how your skin behaves on an ordinary day, and that makes choosing much easier. We make three face creams, one for each range. Our Brightening cream with turmeric helps a dull, uneven complexion look brighter. For skin that feels tight and dry, our Hydrating cream with sandalwood restores that soft, comfortable feel. And if you shine by mid-afternoon, our Oil Control cream with neem and tea tree sinks in fast and feels light all day. Each one is a moisturiser you can use morning and evening, made in the UK and dermatologically tested.
Which of Our Face Creams Is Right for You?
The best face cream for you depends on how your skin feels an hour after washing. That tells you more than any skin quiz.
| Your skin | Our pick | Key ingredients |
|---|---|---|
| Looks dull or uneven, or a mark lingers after a spot | Turmeric & Vitamin C Brightening Face Cream | Our brightening moisturiser, made with two clinically evaluated actives, CO2-extracted turmeric and Tetrapeptide-30, plus vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate), amla, papaya, shea, argan and kukui oil. |
| Feels tight, dry or easily upset | Hydrating Face Cream for Dry & Sensitive Skin | Our hydrating moisturiser, rich with cocoa butter, babassu and jojoba oils, aloe vera and sandalwood. It's the one we'd suggest if your skin is sensitive. |
| Gets shiny through the day, with the odd breakout | Oil Control Face Cream for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin | Our light cream for oily skin, with neem, tea tree, moringa, zinc PCA, avocado oil and shea. It sinks in quickly and leaves skin looking less shiny. |
Why Choose Our Natural Moisturisers?
- One cream for each skin type. Choose the one that matches your skin most days, and swap as the seasons change.
- Plant oils and butters, no mineral oil. We build every cream on cold-pressed plant oils and butters such as shea, cocoa, jojoba and argan, so your skin feels soft without a greasy film.
- Vegan, tested and made in the UK. All three creams are dermatologically tested and made here in the UK, and each is a PETA-certified, cruelty-free vegan moisturiser.
- Award-winning. Our Brightening cream was Highly Commended at the Universal Beauty Awards 2025 (Best Anti-Blemish Cream), and our Hydrating cream won Silver at the Global Makeup Awards 2020 (Best Face Cream).
- Ready-made pairs. We team each cream with its matching face wash in a Duo, and add a toner for a Trio, in our skincare sets.
How Does Our Brightening Cream Help Skin Look Brighter?
It's the only cream in our range with Tetrapeptide-30, a clinically evaluated peptide. In clinical studies, tested alongside the same stable vitamin C we use, it visibly reduced the look of dark marks and helped skin tone look more even. The cream also contains CO2-extracted turmeric, another clinically evaluated active. After eight weeks of twice-daily use, skin tone looked noticeably more even and more radiant. Give it six to eight weeks, with sunscreen every morning, to see how your skin responds. If a patch of pigmentation is new, changing or worrying you, your GP or pharmacist is the best first stop.
How to Use Your Moisturiser, Step by Step
Your cream goes on last, after washing and toning. In the morning, sunscreen follows on top.
| Step | When | How |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Cleanse | Morning and evening | Wash with our natural face wash and pat your skin almost dry, so it's still slightly damp. |
| 2. Tone | Morning and evening | Sweep a face toner over your skin with a cotton pad or your palms, keeping clear of your eyes. |
| 3. Moisturise | Morning and evening | Warm a pea-sized amount between your fingertips and press it into your face and neck with upward strokes. |
| 4. Sunscreen | Every morning | Give your cream a minute to sink in, then add a broad-spectrum SPF. The Oil Control cream label recommends it, and it's just as worthwhile with the Brightening cream. We don't make an SPF, so use one you enjoy wearing. |
What's Inside Our Creams?
| Ingredient | What it does | Which cream |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) | A stable form of vitamin C that helps brighten the skin. | Brightening |
| CO2-extracted turmeric | A favourite in Ayurveda for a fresh, glowing look. CO2 extraction keeps more of the root's natural compounds. | Brightening |
| Shea butter, argan and kukui oils | Rich, softening butters and oils that keep skin comfortable all day. All three come from nuts. | Shea: Brightening and Oil Control. Argan and kukui: Brightening |
| Cocoa butter, babassu and jojoba oils | A cushiony blend that seals in moisture, leaving dry skin soft and comfortable. | Hydrating |
| Aloe vera, sandalwood and essential oils | Aloe feels cool and soothing. Sandalwood, ylang-ylang and jasmine give a soft, warm scent. | Hydrating |
| Neem, tea tree and zinc PCA | Neem is Ayurveda's go-to herb for skin that breaks out easily. Tea tree helps skin feel fresh, and zinc PCA helps it look less shiny. | Oil Control |
What Helps Your Moisturiser Work Better?
- Apply to slightly damp skin. Cream spreads further on skin that's still a little damp, so a small amount goes a long way.
- A pea-sized amount is plenty. It covers your face and neck. If your skin feels sticky afterwards, use a little less next time.
- Swap with the seasons. Central heating can leave skin tight from October onwards, and a richer hydrating moisturiser helps you through winter. If your skin feels greasy by mid-afternoon in summer, our lighter Oil Control cream may suit you better until autumn.
- Try one new product at a time. Give each one a week so you can tell what your skin likes. All our creams contain essential oils, so a quick patch test on your inner arm first is a good habit.
- Start from how your skin feels. If it's flaky and rough, our picks for moisturiser for dry skin are a good place to begin. If it reacts to almost everything, browse our moisturiser for sensitive skin range.
