L'Oreal Paris Hydra Genius Hyaluronic Acid Plus Aloe Liquid Hydrating Moisturiser, Rehydrating and Reinvigorating Face Serum for Normal to Combination Skin, White, 70 ml (Pack of 1)

Product Information

It's an area that often turns blotchy and pink when I'm warm or when I'm trying a new skin-care product (or when I'm awkwardly attempting to flirt, but that's a whole other story), so having L'Oréal Paris Hydra Genius Daily Liquid Care Moisturizer leave the area hydrated without any stickiness or redness was a pleasant surprise that made this pick an even bigger winner. Foundation, concealer, translucent powder, color corrector, a touch of contour and highlight — all are part of my typical beauty routine. Their writing has appeared in Esquire, Insider, MEL Magazine, The Observer, and Cosmopolitan, and they were named one of Brooklyn Magazine's “30 under 30” in 2018. In fact, I actually started using it as a neck and décolleté moisturizer for the summer months when anything heavier than that can feel like a greasy turtleneck. While the results are often dependent on the quality and formulas of the aforementioned products, what's underneath is equally, if not more, important.

Another big benefit: This moisturizer feels so soothing and lightweight that it almost has a cooling effect. For many folks, particularly those with oily or combination skin, it can be tricky to find a moisturizer that quickly absorbs into their skin and acts as a hydrating foundation (so to speak) for their makeup.A solid skin-care regimen keeps any makeup I apply looking fresh, though finding the right products for my skin can get a bit complicated. Thanks to ingredients like hyaluronic acid and aloe water, it adds hydration without that slimy, tacky finish that some moisturizers give.

On the flip side, my cheeks and chin sometimes get so dry that they look flaky beneath my makeup, even with regular exfoliation, so I often prefer something more moisturizing in those spots. This common dilemma is precisely why the Hydra Genius Daily Liquid Care Moisturizer has been so excellent: It adds a big boost of hydration to those drier areas, preventing them from getting scaly (sorry for the gross imagery), but it doesn't give my lids or T-zone that slick feeling some heavier moisturizers do.
