Not sure which one is right for you? Or what the benefits of the right moisturiser for your skin needs might be? Read our guide to help you find your perfect match.
Find your perfect moisturiser, tailored to your skin type, for a match made in complexion heaven. Normal to dry skin types crave moisture and hydration, while oily to combination skin prefers something a little more lightweight in texture.
Skin that’s calling out for a supercharge of hydration needs look no further than our Vitamin E Intense Moisture Cream. As The Body Shop moisturiser for dry skin types, it was conceived to help plump skin with moisture and serve some seriously sumptuous feels to even very dry skin for up to 72 hours. Enriched with Community Fair Trade shea butter and organic olive oil, it glides on gorgeously, absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling smoother and softer.
Feel like you need help keeping your skin’s natural oils balanced? Say hello to our Seaweed Oil-Control Gel Cream. Beloved as The Body Shop moisturiser for oily skin, it’s designed for all-over shiny faces which are super at producing (perhaps a little too much) sebum and in need of shine control. This seaweed-enriched moisturiser has a lightweight texture that will help do all that, leaving your face looking mattified and feeling hydrated.
Our best face cream for combination skin, our Vitamin E Gel Moisture Cream helps to protect skin against dry weather and lock in much-needed moisture, while helping the T-zone look less oily. Enriched with Community Fair Trade organic aloe vera, this heaven-sent moisturiser is ultra-lightweight and, importantly, sans grease. It sinks into skin like a dream, helping to keep your face feeling moisturised for up to 48 hours, so you’re free to get on with whatever makes you happy.
Helping to replenish skin with moisture, our Vitamin E Moisture Cream is a trouper when it comes to helping skin feel hydrated and protected against moisture loss. The OG version in our Vitamin E range and an icon in The Body Shop’s skincare arsenal since the 1970s, this face cream boasts a lightweight formula that’s fast-absorbing – ideal for that first-thing frenzy. Massage this beauty into your face for skin that feels quenched with moisture and looks fresher and smoother.
“An absolute revolution..I have very dry skin, sometimes I put moisturiser on and my skin sucks it up immediately. This stuff actually makes my skin feel soft for almost 2-3 days without needing to reapply. It’s insane.”

We’ve rounded up our best formulas to help you boost radiance, battle blemishes, ease skin sensitivity and turn tired-looking skin on its head.
If you’re desperately seeking the perfect product to target sensitive skin, you’ll be a big fan of our Aloe Soothing Day Cream. Our best face moisturiser for sensitive skin takes a softly-softly approach to help gently moisturise, while being mindful of any touchy-feely skin. Enriched with Community Fair Trade organic aloe vera from Mexico, this angelic little moisturiser helps to moisturise sensitive skin, so your face feels soft and smooth.
Our best moisturiser for dull skin is the Vitamin C Glow Boosting Moisturiser: a helping hit of skin-revitalising and joy-giving radiance after just four weeks. For skin that needs a little va-va-voom, it helps your face to feel more hydrated, refreshed and energised, and who doesn’t need that from time to time? It’s infused with camu camu which is rich in vitamin C, as well as Community Fair Trade aloe vera in a gel formulation.
Do you feel like you just want your skin to look awake and rekindle its glow-full glory days? Our Drops of Youth™ Youth Cream is here to bolster and befriend your face. It’s made to help your skin’s tone and gives an anti-wrinkle effect, not to mention a gleefully velvety softness. This vegan formula is enriched with three plant stem cells and the air-whipped texture of this face cream leaves skin feeling supple, fresher and nourished with moisture.
You’ll be in high spirits when you see how our Vitamin C Glow-Protect Lotion SPF30 helps to refresh dull, tired-looking skin while helping protect against the sun’s UVA/UVB rays. Among The Body Shop face creams with added SPF benefits, this dual-action moisturiser is doubly pleasing. It’s ideal for daily use before sun exposure, but it’s also designed to help give your skin a boost in the radiance department, helping skin feel moisturised and enhance your glow before you go.
There’s a lot to be said for a bit of shut-eye. The wee small hours are the prime time for our skin to regenerate and rejuvenate as it kicks the stresses of the day into touch. Drop a night cream into the mix, and you’ll help keep it hydrated and happy while you sleep. Beauty.
Putting some pep back in your step, our Oils of Life™ Intensely Revitalising Sleeping Cream is a vegan night cream that helps skin feel quenched and soft as velvet. This nourishing-feeling moisturiser is enriched with three precious seed oils – black cumin from Egypt, camellia from China and rosehip from Chile. No matter if you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, your skin will feel more supple and hydrated.
Oily and blemish-prone skin will rejoice for our Tea Tree Night Lotion, a lightweight vegan night cream that helps skin feel moisturised after application. Counterintuitive though it might seem to add moisturiser to oily skin, this lotion feels lightweight on skin and helps skin feel soothed. Alongside The Body Shop face cream from our Tea Tree range, this night cream helps your skin look more even and balanced to help it look its best.
If you’ve tried and loved the day cream in our Vitamin E range, push the feeling on with our Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream. This bestselling moisturiser is suited to all skin types and helps to protect and prevent moisture loss overnight. It’s non-greasy while doing all that angelic hydrating work, so you don’t have to worry about your bedsheets. Formulated with biofermented hyaluronic acid, this night cream helps skin to feel intensely nourished and smoother.
Sensitive skin needs all the help it can get with holding on to moisture, so our Aloe Soothing Night Cream helps provide your face with a soothed moisture, supremely moisturised feeling by the break of dawn. It sets to work during each eight-hour slumber, helping to restore skin’s moisture barrier. Enriched with Community Fair Trade organic aloe vera, the gentle, velvety texture will have your face feeling like it’s walking on air.
The best time to apply moisturiser is in the morning and in the evening. Whether you’re a skincare devotee or a fuss-free slap-on-and-go sort of person, your best daily moisturiser is likely the bathroom product that needs no introduction. Yes, it might be a little thing in your day, but it’s widely considered fundamental to all skincare routines. Need to touch base on which order to place product on your face?

So, this is why a daily dab of moisture on your marvellous mug is so important. There’s a whole host of things out there that can sabotage supple skin – from the elements to the season – not to mention personal factors like age and skin type. Making sure your skin is moisturised with the best day cream will only help to counteract those potential effects. It could be tailored for a specific skin concern, infused with protective SPF or get its best work done while you’re in the land of nod. Regardless, all of The Body Shop moisturisers champion naturally inspired ingredients and help your skin to reflect your inner radiance, so you can shine on, superstar.
