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.

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.
