My favorite moisturizers and facial creams | Mes crèmes pour le visage préférées

Let's admit it, I have combination to oily skin, which can be quite sensitive too! So it's not always easy to find the right facial cream to keep my skin hydrated but to prevent it from looking like a greasy frying pan for fries! 

First of all, I love facial sprays, especially in the summer! It's about 35° C (around 90° F) these days in Grenoble so this little guy is always good to have in hand! Put this spray in the fridge and you'll appreciate it even more !!  I have the Evian facial spray, but other brands have some too. 
Make sure you take one thats with natural mineral water so that your skin appreciates all its vertues :) It also comes in a smaller format so you can carry it in your bag or purse!
Price : more or less 5 €
Overall rating : 5/5 

Now from La Roche-Posay, I've been using for years the Effaclar Duo (corrective and unclogging anti-imperfection care). I used it in the morning as a moisturizer + primer in the summer time, or just on my T zone. 
At night it also allows to sooth my skin. I didn't really see a difference with my black spots but I do love the texture (it's like a gel cream, really light).
Price : between 10 and 12 €, depending on the drugstore
Overall rating : 4/5 but I keep buying it ;) 
I'll try the Effaclar Mat next, tell me if you like it !

The 3rd product is just a sample I got from the drugstore but I love it so I decided to include it here! It's the Vichy Normaderm Hyaluspot (fast acting anti-imperfection targeted care, minimises marks). It contains hyaluronic acid that's why it works wonders for acne and redness
Since it's quite a strong product, I just use it on my spots. I feel like it's anti-inflammatory so that's a really good thing. But it can tingle and dry out your skin so be careful with that. Otherwise it does a great job. Regarding the "minimizing marks" thing, I think it does work a little...
Price : I don't remember but around 9 €
Overall rating : 5/5 for targeted anti-imperfection care

I purchased the Clean&Clear dual action moisturizer on Amazon because it isn't commercialized here in France. I heard a lot of good American reviews on this product so I decided to buy it. I think I paid around 12 € for it, but 120 ml is a lot :)
I love the fresh feeling it gives me in the morning, espcially in the Summer time. It's a minty feeling. Kind of like toothpaste on your face but not sticky at all. I haven't been using it for a long time but it hasn't broken me out. Time will tell us how I review it!
Price : cheap in the US! 12-13 € on Amazon
Overall rating : 4/5 for now

Last but not least is the Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré. For all skin types, this milk-cream is perfect at night time. It leaves my skin smooth as a baby's butt, it's calming and nourrishes perfectly. The texture isn't super light nor heavy. In the Winter, I sometimes used this product on my skin and it didn't make it too oily, so that's good! A little goes a long way with this Embryolisse cream :)
I also works really well as a body moisturizer
Thanks to the Youtube beauty gurus Elsamakeup and MrsCaroline1305 who allowed me to discover this product :) 
Price : between 10 and 13€
Overall rating : 5/5


Tell me if you know these products and what you use as moisturizers :)
