The BEST Drugstore Face Moisturizers
hello hi everyone welcome to skincare
with higher if you don't know who I am
my name is Hiram and I'm passionate
about teaching you how to perfect your
skincare routine so make sure you
subscribe to my channel and to the
notification bell so that you can see my
videos every single week it is a miracle
that my skin looks like this right now
let me just say that because this
morning my skin lost its [ __ ] my skin
was not happy with me I think I had an
allergic reaction and I had to go and
with moisturizer and then a little bit
of powder afterwards to make sure that
I'm not being like a lighthouse with
these lights so yay for that I'm so
excited for today's video because I'm
going to be talking about all of the
best drugstore moisturizers this is a
continuation of my drugstore skincare
series so if you want to keep up to date
with all the videos that I'm gonna be
posting for that feel free to subscribe
and I know some of you guys maybe think
you wait harm did you skip over serums
and don't worry [ __ ] I'm just taking my
time finding the best serums because
there's a lot of them and I'm pretty
picky but for moisturizers I managed to
find all of the best ones laid out here
in front of me for each skin type now
finding good drugstore moisturizers has
been a little bit of a struggle because
there are just so many out there and the
majority of them are formulated with a
lot of ingredients that I'm not a fan of
whether it be stripping alcohols or a
lot of fragrance or a lot of essential
oils it just kind of left me with a lot
of conflict but I'm happy to say that
all the products in this video are
fragrance free so you can count on there
not being essential oils or undisclosed
fragrance in these products I want to
give you guys the best of the best
recommendations and after finding many
moisturizers that I definitely don't
like from the drugstore in preparation
for this video thanks a lot no I'm
kidding I found the best of the best to
share with you guys
also I'll be linking all the products
that I'm talking about in today's video
in the description box below some of
them are affiliate links which helps to
support me and my channel so if you guys
do feel like getting any of these
products please feel free to use those
links below I would really appreciate it
but no pressure whatsoever thanks guys I
found moisturizers for each skin type so
don't you worry I got you know all these
moisturizers I really try to make sure
that each of the brands were the most
accessible skin care brands out there
because I know a lot of you guys are
watching from other countries where you
don't have access to a lot of the
products that I recommend so I wanted to
make sure that this is as easy to access
as possible by only going to the main
drugstores like Walgreens Walmart Target
and other stores like that so let's
first start with dry
so I have two recommendations if you
find that you do have more you know
pretty severely dry skin you want
something that's really occlusive really
hydrating kind of forms a thicker layer
of moisture over your skin I recommend
of course and this will come as no
surprises a lot of you guys but the seer
of a moisturizing cream in terms of a
formula perspective this product is just
pretty much superior to every drugstore
moisturizer for dry skin that I've been
able to find glycerin is the second
ingredient is a humectant which means
it's gonna pull in moisture from the
environment deep into your skin to help
make sure that it stays hydrated
caprylic triglyceride is the third
ingredient which is gonna lock in that
hydration it's also formulated with
ceramides as well as sodium high all in
a rate which is the concentrated form of
hyaluronic acid that's gonna pull in
moisture from the environment similar to
glycerin it's fragrance free and another
reason I love this product is because
it's one of the most cheap as well you
can get one of those big tubs for like
seventeen dollars that'll last you a
good six months at least if not longer
it's probably gonna last you longer
honestly like a year for drugstore
skincare survey just has really superior
formulas all of which have non
sensitizing but powerful ingredients
that are gonna make sure you're
moisturized you're hydrated and taken
care of they may not be the most flashy
brand out there but they deliver the
best ingredients and the best formulas
without risking long-term damage and
then next a recent find which I'm so
excited to talk about it is the elf
happy hydration cream this one blew me
away because when I like to the
ingredient list I was like that can't be
right
elf usually doesn't have skincare this
good I'm seed oil is the second
ingredient yes the second ingredient in
this product which if you don't know
hemp seed oil is really good for
hydration it's been a really popular
ingredient recently but a lot of times
brands will formulate with a really low
concentration of hemp seed oil and then
just slap the name on the cover of the
product so that they can get away with a
lot of sales because it's trendy but the
fact that it's the second ingredient in
this shows that this is a pretty high
quality product in my opinion it's also
formulated with glycerin as a fourth
ingredient niacinamide as the sixth
ingredient oh one of my favorite
ingredients of all time that works to
reduce sensitivity and irritation it
regulates sebum production to make sure
that you're not too oily or too dry and
it brightens any dark spots or
pigmentation that you have across your
face and it has sodium hyaline area as
well as a soothing peptide complex and
it's fragrance free I honestly was so
impressed by this formula and after
using it I have to say this is a really
nice moisturizer I would say it's really
optimal for people who want a lot of
hydration but who don't want a really
thick layer of moisture on their skin
because we're a dry skin formula it's
relatively lightweight I noticed that it
soothes my skin and overall just had a
really nice feel and honestly it's one
of the best products in this entire
video that I've been able to find I'm
just really impressed and I think elf is
definitely stepping up the game for
their formulas and I hope they come up
with more formula similar to this one
just because I don't know I think it's a
really good display of the potential
that brands have for good products at a
drugstore price point I know a lot of
you guys are probably like what I didn't
expect to see elf in this video neither
did I [ __ ] also let me know if you guys
want a review on elf skincare I've seen
some requests coming here in there I
think there's a lot of misses but also
some hits that they have that I've
definitely been surprised by recently I
have three moisturizers for combination
skin because I feel like combination
skin is the most common skin type that I
usually come across so first if you're
just looking for a basic moisturizer for
combination skin that's gonna work well
the sirve moisturizing lotion is a good
one to go with it's really similar to
the CR of a moisturizing cream but the
only difference is that it's not
formulated with petrolatum which
petrolatum is a thicker really occlusive
emollient ingredient that forms a thick
layer of moisture across your face and I
don't feel like that's optimal for
people with combination skin but all the
other ingredients in the moisturizing
cream are really good which is why I
would recommend the moisturizing lotion
if you're just looking for a good one
with good ingredients fragrance free
that's gonna deliver hydration and those
benefits now for anyone has more
combination to dry skin I personally
recommend the Shea Moisture skin rescue
moisturizer now I did not expect to put
a Shea Moisture product in this video
because the majority of their products
are formulated with a lot of essential
oils but this one is actually free of
essential oils in terms of the main
ingredients is formulated with glycerin
shea butter which is really gonna
moisturize and soften your skin as well
as hemp seed oil and then it does have a
low concentration of witch hazel now I
know I've talked about how I don't like
witch hazel in the past but I personally
just don't like it when it's in high
concentrations because witch hazel is uh
nostalgic and can perform similarly to
like a drying alcohol but in low
concentrations I think it can't have
soothing benefits because a lot of the
drugstore moisturizers that I was trying
to use to calm down my face after this
irritation we're not really working the
main claim of this one
is to soothe irritated skin but honestly
I find that the ingredients are really
just great ingredients that you would
want in a good moisturizer I also really
like that it comes in glass packaging I
think it's the one product of all of
these so it's more environmentally
sustainable and can be reused it's
lightweight but still delivers a lot of
moisture which is where I feel it's
better for combination to more dry skin
and then if you want moisturizer for
more combination oily skin where you do
have some dry areas but you also just
want to make sure that it's not too
heavy on the skin I recommend the Olay
hungarian water essence another product
that i did not expect to be in this
video coz Olay is usually a brand that i
kind of steer clear of but honestly
looking at these ingredients i was
really impressed it's fragrance free
formulated with glycerin panthenol
niacinamide is the fourth ingredient
which is gonna help to control that
oiliness that you're experiencing in
your skin and it's also formulated with
green tea extract and sodium hyaline
rates and cucumber which are gonna be
great for soothing any sensitivity or
redness the only thing I will say about
this product is that it is kind of
pricey I bought it for $19 which is
right on the edge of what I would
consider to be a drugstore but it is
really accessible because you can find
Olli in a lot of places and if you are
gonna get an old Leroy's razor I
recommend this one but overall yeah
great ingredient list I was really
impressed and I liked my experience with
it now moving on to oily skin which
honestly oh my god finding good
fragrance free moisturizers for oily
skin that [ __ ] is like next to
impossible because the usually drugstore
brands will only come out with fragrance
free products for people with really
sensitive skin and it's like hello
there's some people out there like me
who don't necessarily have sensitive
skin but we want to avoid fragrance and
we want something for oily skin and boy
it's difficult but I will say I found a
product that I absolutely love the other
top product in this video it is the
verse to do point moisturizing gel cream
you can find this product at Target and
the reason why I love it so much is
because it's the closest dupe I've been
able to find to the eye unique centella
calming gel cream this one is one of my
favorite moisturizers for oily skin but
it's really only available in Korea and
only shipped to certain countries and
while this doesn't have exactly the same
ingredient list I love it because it's
so lightweight but the ingredients are
glycerin it's formulated with squalene
which is usually a more heavy
moisturizing ingredient but it's very
lightweight with this product it has
green tea extract aloe vera juice and
jojoba oil and
it's fragrance free no seriously I was
just really impressed with how the
formula performed it's super lightweight
soaks into the skin really easily but
does offer good ingredients that are
gonna hydrate your skin and make sure to
really protect it from any damage
throughout the day this one of my
favorite finds from this video and I'm
actually really excited to continue
using it because I've just I've loved
the results so far and then finally for
someone who's just looking for good oil
control
I recommend the Neutrogena oil-free
moisture coming in some of you guys are
gonna be watching this being like Hyrum
you trashed Neutrogena in your video
about them I'll link it below why would
you recommend a product from them well I
actually somehow overlooked this product
from them because it actually is
fragrance free and has a relatively good
butt basing ingredient list the primary
ingredient they use is called
cyclomethicone which is actually similar
to dimethicone but it provides a drier
finish because the thing about
dimethicone which is a common really
good silicone that prevents any trans
epidermal water loss which is the
process by which we lose water through
our skin which results in dryness
irritation sensitivity while dimethicone
is really good it sometimes can leave
behind like a greasy thick layer on the
skin and cyclomethicone is a good
alternative that's gonna just make sure
you're a little bit less oily greasy a
drier finish while still providing those
good benefits now I have to say the very
first time I use this product I hated it
as soon as I put it on my skin I was
like this feels disgusting I want to
take this off but I gave it a chance and
after about an hour I noticed that this
worked really well to reduce oiliness
throughout the day I'd say it takes
about a good hour for it to just kind of
like not feel like it's suffocating your
skin coz that first hour it definitely
feels like you just have a thick layer
on that as I continue using this product
for a week I noticed that I experienced
no oiliness no excess sebum and
shininess throughout the day and worked
really good to control it but my skin
always felt hydrated and protected isn't
the most fancy flashy amazing ingredient
list no it's really simple but it's
gonna deliver you hydration without
making you look like a Greece Factory
throughout the day which honestly when
it comes to drugstore moisturizers is
good enough for me now I know some of
you guys are watching saying hi erm what
about the moisturizers with sunscreens
you know moisturizers are in sunscreen
and one and I'm just gonna have to be
honest guys I have searched far and wide
for a moisturizer with sunscreen that I
actually think
is really really good and I have yet to
find one I just have not found one that
really like impressed me with the
ingredient list because it's either a
moisturizer that's chock full of
chemical sunscreens that can be really
irritating to the face and have
debatable evidence as to whether or not
they negatively affect reef life and
with those chemical sunscreens I usually
just want to avoid them where possible
or you have mineral sunscreen
moisturizers that leave behind a really
thick white coating that's really hard
to rub into your skin and overall just a
negative experience and a few more shows
that I found that weren't like that were
just chock-full of fragrance so honestly
I just haven't found a product yet if
you do know of any good ones that are
fragrance free mineral and don't leave
behind a severe white cast let me know
in the comment section down below I
would love to know but overall in my
opinion I always think it's just better
to go in with a good moisturizer any of
these moisturizers will be great because
you're getting the really good benefit
of all those amazing ingredients and
then following up with a separate
sunscreen after not only are you gonna
get the best ingredients but you're also
gonna make sure that you're getting the
most protection when it comes to
sunscreen because usually people who use
moisturizers with sunscreens in them
don't apply enough moisturizer to be
able to get the full protection that you
need throughout the day but not to worry
I'm currently working on the best
drugstore sunscreens video it will be
coming out very soon and I'll be able to
share the best ones I've been able to
find or if you're a little bit inpatient
go to link in my description box below I
have a video all about sunscreens how to
apply it and the best ones I've been
able to find you can find some of my
recommendations there oh yeah I got
through that kind of fast I'm a little
impressed I mean it's about [ __ ] time
I'm literally drip sweating down my back
because it's so freakin hot and I'm
ready to end this video like that that's
super sexy but what do you guys think of
this list let me know in the comment
section down below if you have any more
drugstore moisturizers that you
recommend because I would love to hear
them these are the ones that after
scouring for hours and hours and hours
online I've been able to find the best
of but who knows I may have missed a few
that you guys would recommend and I'd
love to hear your thoughts like I said
before if you are interested in
purchasing any other products feel free
