MOISTURIZERS 101
Our moisturizers and creams hydrate and target multiple skin concerns so that you get more benefits with every application.
WHAT THEY DO
Moisturizer is a broad term that includes creams, but there are a few key differences:
• Moisturizers tend to be more lightweight than creams and lock in moisture to help support a healthy skin barrier and shield against dryness.
• Creams are heavier in texture and provide nourishing benefits that work well with the natural repair activity that happens while you sleep.
WHAT’S INSIDE
Our reparative and restorative formulas feature proven ingredients that help lock in hydration, like hyaluronic acid, along with peptides, antioxidants and moisture-replenishing oils.
WHEN DO I USE THEM?
AM MOISTURIZER: Cleanse skin and apply before SPF
PM CREAM: Cleanse skin and apply after your serum
Layering? Simply apply formulas in order of thinnest to thickest.
HOW MUCH DO I USE?
Experts say the size of an almond will do for your face; use the size of a strawberry for your entire body

ESTHETICIANS’ FAVORITE IMAGE MOISTURIZERS
I love all of the IMAGE moisturizers, but my go-to is the ORMEDIC balancing bio-peptide crème. The organic grape water, hyaluronic acid and shea butter keep my skin soft and hydrated.

CLEAR CELL is one of my favorite IMAGE moisturizers to help treat acne! It is super handy in helping the skin with maskne, and I love the matte finish … I like using this at the very end of my evening skincare routine as an acne treatment.
