Need a Winter Moisturizer? Lay it on Thick With These Sephora Best-Sellers
We won’t pretend that moisturizing is a “one size fits all” kind of beauty product. There are a lot of factors that go into deciding what will actually work–especially a rich moisturizer. First, you’ve got to identify what category your skin fits into: oily, dry, acne-prone or combination. And let’s be completely honest: more often than not, we’re able to check all four boxes, which makes our search even more daunting.
Combine that with lifestyle choices and the amount of pollution where ever you live and it turns into a revolving door of trial-and-error that never seems to end. All of that aside (for now at least), there’s one thing most of us can agree on; and it’s that our skin could use a little more TLC this time of year. The temps are low, wind is high and the moisture we spent minutes putting into our skin is sucked out in record time. We’re chapped, dry and our makeup just isn’t sitting right. In short: we’re on a struggle bus just minutes after walking out the house.
And when this starts happening, we know need to lay it on thick with something that not only feels luxurious, but packs a punch in the hydrating department too. Sure, we could suggest you spend ample time scouring the ‘Net for that one, perfect find, but who has time for that? Instead, we’re going straight to the biggest beauty source, Sephora, and seeing what other shoppers are purchasing. Ahead, the best-selling rich moisturizers flying off shelves right now.
Clinique.
Clinique iD Custom-Blend Hydrator + Cartridge for Irritation
Late last year, the iconic brand launched this updated version of the childhood fave Moisturizing Lotion and it’s already a best-seller. The product offers 15 different combinations – there are 5 different active cartridge concentrates (Irritation, Pores & Uneven Texture, Uneven Skin Tone, Fatigue and Lines & Wrinkles) and 3 different hydrating bases (Hydrating Jelly, Moisturizing Lotion+, and Oil-Control Gel).

La Mer Crème de la Mer
Yes, it’s on the pricier side, but once you’re labeled a cult favorite, people can’t stop buying. Perhaps it has something to do with the brand’s custom “Miracle Broth,” a blend of ultra-hydrating oils (eucalyptus, sesame seed, sweet almond) and plant extracts (algae, citrus).
