Moisturiser for dry skin that feels soft all day

A good moisturiser for dry skin is rich enough to keep you comfortable but light enough to wear every day. Our edit has 11 creams, gels, serums and aloe gels, from £9.99, made with milk proteins, plant oils, butters and aloe.

Creams for everyday comfort

Deyga's Deep Moisturising Face Cream 30G (£18.99) uses plant-based oils and is free from parabens, phthalates and artificial fragrances. Vilvah's Ultra Moisturising Cream 50ml (£25.99) uses olive squalane to lock in moisture. Highborn London's Imperial Moisturiser (£46) is made in England for tight-feeling skin and works as the moisturising step in your daily routine.

Aloe vera gel for lighter days

Vilvah's Aloe Vera Gel 100ml (£9.99) is made with cold-stabilised aloe vera juice and absorbs quickly without a greasy residue. Deyga's Pure Aloe Vera Gel 100 g (£22.99) is 100% natural aloe leaf extract, and can double as a hair mask. Try layering aloe under cream on very dry days.

Serums and night care

Highborn London's MOISTUREBURST Hydrating Glow Ceramide Serum (£85) layers under moisturiser to plump the look of thirsty skin. Night Elixir (£56) is a comforting night cream for evenings, and the Bakuchiol Youth Elixir (£99) suits mature, sensitive skin. Prefer one cream in the morning? The GLOWGUARD SPF30 Anti-Ageing Moisturiser (£68) adds sun protection.

Apply to slightly damp skin after a toner for dry skin to hold in more moisture. For a whole routine, see our skincare for dry skin guide. Looking for a natural moisturiser in the UK? Every product is 100% authentic and ships from the UK, with free delivery over £40.

Richer textures that combine humectants with nourishing oils or butters. Hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, milk proteins, shea butter and almond oil all help skin hold on to moisture.

How often should I moisturise dry skin?

Morning and night, on clean, slightly damp skin. In the morning, finish with SPF.

Are natural moisturisers good for dry skin?

Plant-based creams from Vilvah and Deyga use oils, butters and milk proteins to cushion dry skin. Patch test first if your skin is sensitive.

Prices run from £9.99 to £99.00.

Are the products genuine?

Yes. Every product at Swansura is 100% authentic. Swansura is an official UK partner of Deyga and Vilvah.
