The 5 Best Moisturizers at Sephora

This moisturizer is exactly what you want to wear all summer—it’s rich but not greasy, and wards off dehydration thanks to THD ascorbate, an oil-soluble derivative of vitamin C. It also smells like a fresh-picked orange.

With moisturizers, it’s either the formulation or the texture that’s the winner. Here, Dr. Dennis Gross created the perfect hybrid of both. At the center is ferulic acid and retinol, which improve the appearance of fine lines. Post-application, your skin will feel plump and smooth, just like the moisturizer.

One simple gel-cream, three amazing results: It neutralizes free radicals, improves skin’s elasticity and minimizes the appearances of pores. Yeah, there’s good reason why this moisturizer amassed 50,000 “loves” on Sephora.

Sodium hyaluronate and squalene work together to deliver and retain moisture. But above the science-y speak, it’s still vegan and cruelty-free. Take it from the reviewer who said, “[It’s] good to see a cosmetic company like Tarte produce a legit skin care solution.”

Sephora is the exclusive retailer for this gel-cream moisturizer that blends bamboo stalks (which contain proteins and lipids) with sap (loaded with amino acids) to give the perfect amount of moisture for all types of skin.
