Best & Worst Hydrating Moisturizers | Fragrance Free

- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Hello Loves! Today I'm bring you the video I've been promising for a few weeks: my review of several gel-based hydrating moisturisers that I've been trying this year! These are mostly suitable for more normal/oily/combo skin types, although if you have dry skin, you might enjoy some of these as a hydrating layer beneath a more emollient/occlusive upper layer!
Leave me a comment below on your thoughts if you've tried any of these, and also any suggestions for ones I didn't mention that you think I'd enjoy! x

My friend is a Clinique beauty adviser and she was telling me the other day that the men’s maximum hydrator is the exact same as moisture surge but just with blue dye. Depends on the counter but sometimes the men’s is cheaper than the original moisture surge 😊
Of course it is haha damn literal pink tax!! :-P Thanks for letting us know!
Great info! Thanks 😊
If you bought coxrs hyaluronic acid cream and faced problems dont ditch it out yet. Watcj this video for solution and real review
ua-cam.com/video/E4HXwTCbnG0/v-deo.html
The dresses you have in the back are beautiful!!! And I’m totally going to try some of these moisturizers!!
Thanks!! They’re my performance gowns :)
I've never clicked faster in my life lol I've been wanting exactly this video recently 😂
I LOVE the Neutrogena one. I have the one with SPF, but I can't use it after I've showered because it makes me break out. If I wait till my pores relax a little then it doesn't. It does have a sunscreen smell to it though, but I don't mind too much. The face mask from the same line was AMAZING too if you can find it I highly recommend!
Oh I didn’t know they made an SPF version! We don’t have that in Australia I don’t think! Xx
@@ArnaAlayneMorton yeah! It's called "City Shield" but it's a water gel, so that might be different from the one you have, idk what the difference is exactly. Sometimes I'll just put it on and go outside and it gives you this highlight glow without any makeup at all. So pretty!
I’m a dry skin girl and I love gel creams for whenever the thermometer shows like -18 C in the morning and I need something to layer underneath my regular moisturiser 😁
Yes they’re great for underlayers in the cold winter!
Absolutely LOVE that Clinique one as well on my normal/dehydrated skin. The only thing about those tubs is that I wish they were recyclable. In fact, I wish more packaging in the beauty world was recyclable. It would be a huge selling feature, I think. I dunno. Gotta run off to work! Lovely video, Arna! xoxo
Surely the tub is recyclable?? Even without the lid? 😩 I’ve been putting it in my recycling bin 😪
@@ArnaAlayneMorton I look for the little recycling symbol on every product before I toss it and I have yet to see one on the Clinique tubs. Even googling for answers I'm left with basically no information except that they don't have a recycling program, not whether their packaging is recyclable. Harder plastics (like the Clinique tubs) have additives that make it so the plastic can't be reused. It kind of makes me mad, actually. If a company feels they need plastic packaging, at least make it recyclable.
Shanna Wheeler...thanks 4 for bringing up this issue!!!! So many plastics have no number on the bottom or lid.... I try my best to minimize purchase of bottles that DO NOT have the accepted numbers!!! We've all got to all do our part💞🌱💪 when we can...BLM is showing us the change possible when come together when we are united, when we care, when we all focus and show our committment w running oit of time!!! 😁
I have been hearing so many people talk about the Neutrogena Hydro Boost. Glad to hear your thoughts. Just finishing my current and looking for something very hydrating. Plus, I just am glad to hear your voice. Much love.
🥰😘 much love to you too xx
Perfect timing! I have more oily/combo skin too and these are my favourite types of moisturizers, esp. to use in the morning! My fav is the Youth to the People SuperFood Moisture Cream with Hyaluronic acid, but I would love to try some of these more affordable option!
Ooooh I’ll look into that one :)
I use up sub-par facial moisturizers by using them on my body.
Me too!!
I takes me forever to finish any product haha. I wish I could finish my moisturizer in a few months I get bored lol.
Thank you for making this video! I have oily/combination, acne-prone skin and have been on the hunt for a good fragrance-free gel moisturizer for a while. I used to use Neutrogena Hydroboost Gel and liked it, but wanted to find a new one since the gel form has fragrance. The non-fragrant gel-cream (for extra dry skin) was nice and non-irritating, but the dimethicone-y feel was too heavy for my skin under my sunscreen. Tried Krave Beauty Oat so Simple water cream and I love how non-irritating it is, but it's a little too drying/lacking in occlusives even for my oily skin. So now I am eyeing the Soon Jung cream and the I'm from vitamin water after your recommendations! I've also heard good things about the I'm from mugort cream, but have yet to try it.
You’d probably love the Hada Labo one too!! It’s very gel like and super hydrating :)
Hello here's an review on coxrs hyaluronic acid that focuses mainly on the problems and solutions of using this product. Kindly check it out
ua-cam.com/video/E4HXwTCbnG0/v-deo.html
I love when u do reviews bc u get the details...dehydrated vs dry, moisture vs occlusion...it’s good to know this so u can make smart purchases. I like the Neutrogena one and used it before my KBeauty obsession 😂 There’s a matching serum too but it’s exactly like the cream/gel only in a pump🤷🏼♀️ CosRx has a great snail line that you’d prob enjoy bc it works best for normal/oily types. I like it bc it repairs after acids or breakouts. Ur hair looks super lovely with the darker pieces btw..gorge!! 🌻🌻🌻
Oh thank you!! Xx
Hello don't ditch your coxrs hyaluronic acid yet. This video gives solution to all the problem.
ua-cam.com/video/E4HXwTCbnG0/v-deo.html
Arna, I would love for you to do a few beginner tutorials for violin. You would be an excellent instructor.
I probably wouldn’t on this channel, but could be something I might get into in the future on another platform. I do have reservations about virtual violin lessons though as it can be hard for beginners not having a teacher with them to correct form etc
Hello kindly check out this review on coxrs hyaluronic acid cream that focuses mainly on the solution faced while using this product
ua-cam.com/video/E4HXwTCbnG0/v-deo.html
This is EXACTLY the video I was looking for! Thank you for being thorough but not droning on 😂
Yay glad to hear!! 🥰🥰
A great product review video Arna. I have a dry/combo mature skin. Going through the menopause really messed it up but now I love the skincare routine I have. I did some research a couple of years ago and read up all about the differences between dry and dehydrated skin which helped a lot. I can definitely recommend Korean skincare which really helped me alongside my other products ❤️ xx
Thank you! My mum’s been struggling with her skin in menopause too, but she found Marula oil worked a treat :)
Arna Alayne thank you Arna. I have the Marula oil which I love but the squalane oil has been a real game changer. I also use the Pyunkang Yul essence toner when my skin is dehydrated ❤️ xx
So, I'm very late to watch and comment by the 109 others before me...but right from the 5 min mark I can say that as someone with dry to very dry skin, gel moisturizers aren't enough for me as a top layer. However, they are great to apply when my skin is still wet (not dripping) to seal in some extra moisture. Then I continue on with my other skin care layers (liquid toners, serums, etc) and too with a heavier moisturizer.
I have tried the Clinique (love) and a different Had Labo, skin plumping gel cream I think (has a clear container with matte silver lid). I really enjoy your channel and your videos!
Yes they’re mainly great humectants, so good for dehydrated skin, or as an underlayer for people with dry skin x
I love the Clinique and neutrogena. If I need more I usually will just mix a couple of drops of rosehip in my palm with moisturizer and that works wonders.
Yep!! Just as I add a drop or two of Macadamia oil if I need it x
Thanks so much for this! Have bought and loved the neutrogena hydro based on your recomendation, and have been eyeing up a few of the other ones in this list so its great to hear someone of the same skin type giving them the tick 🙏🏻👌🏼
Glad you enjoy it :)
There's a really great one sold in the US by a brand called Versed, a very nice cruelty free gel cream without silicones, very basic. Target sells that line. Really nice one. I put rosehip seed oil over it at night, sunscreen over in the AM
Thanks for the suggestion!! xx
Here's the solution to the problem of using hyaluronic acid cream
ua-cam.com/video/E4HXwTCbnG0/v-deo.html
I have dry skin but in the summer I lean more towards combo, so this was still helpful for me! I’ve been curious about the hydroboost gel. Thank you for all you put into these reviews!
You're most welcome x
You look beautiful, as always, lovely Dr. Morton! This past summer, my skin turned very oily. Now that it is Autumn, it is nowhere near as bad. It is normally oily according to Clinique’s quiz. I can go about three days without moisturiser and my face isn’t tight or dry at all. Clinique calls that oily skin, so that’s what I have, I suppose. I have clear skin, thankfully, but it is highly reactive. My favourite gel cream right now is the Peter Thomas Roth Cloud Cream. It does make me oily, but it’s so gentle on my sensitive skin, and everything makes me oily. My number one sensitive skin chemical exfoliator is Farmacy Honeymoon Glow. Besides Good Genes, nothing else is gentle enough for me at this point. Oh, and a past total favourite moisturizer was the Sunday Riley Tidal Water Brightening Gel Cream--a gorgeous product. I can’t use Sunday Riley because the masking fragrance makes my mother quite ill when I use them (Good Genes and Tidal). They’re lovely products, though! Have a wonderful rest of your week, dear Arna and be well! Love and hugs! 👼💖🤟🏻🦢🏰🤗👼👼👼🕊🕊🕊👑👑🏰🏰💜💜
Thank you, lovely! Xx
My skin is really dry and extremely sensitive to getting congested and the neutrogena gel cream is amazing as it hydrates without giving me blocked pores
Glad you love it :)
Thanks for the video!!
Btw, according to Dr Dray (here on YT) red dye can cause acne
normal - dry here & i tend to prefer these types of products because the ones that cater to dry skin are usually too heavy for me, don’t soak in well, or they clog my pores & cause breakouts.
skincare is so interesting.
i’m definitely a layering skincare type of lady, i love toners & essences - they work so good for me with a more gel consistency moisturizer on top.
Yes the Korean/Japanese way of layering thin products works for me too x
Been using the Neutrogena for several months now and love it!
Glad to hear :)
For any Canadian friends here! Don't buy the regular Neutrogena hydro boost gel cream, it has fragrance and dye in it. The one you want is the extra dry skin version, it's dye and fragrance free. I learned this the hard way today by not taking time to read the ingredient list before buying and ending up with a (kind of offensively) scented product 😅
Thanks for pointing that out! Xx
Thank you.
so cute to include a shout out to the dry skin types lol!
Haha well, it's not really a niche I'm that helpful for :-P
Man, I have a dry skin type and I absolutely LOVE that clinique moisture surge but I freakin swear it breaks me out :(
:( not everyone can wear the silicones in it!
Same thing happened to me.
I have dry, sensitive skin, but I still watched to the end because I enjoy your video style. :-) Also, I do like a lighter moisturizer in the summer, so I do find it helpful. Thanks for all your research and sharing your opinions.
You’re most welcome 🥰🥰
Your hair looks beautiful!🤗🤗
Thank you xx
I have dry skin but I actually use the Revolution one under makeup. Because I'd rather go in with a hydrating primer on top than deal with my moisturizer possibly peeling up (which is a problem with my daily moisturizers). But I completely agree, it's not enough on it's own. If I use it when I'm not doing makeup I use a hydrating oil/serum on top to help makeup for it. But it's something that's worked around, not a stand alone product (for me at least) at all.
That’s a good idea!
I have very oily/combo skin but we are getting into autumn/winter and so this video is perfect timing because I need to purchase some winter skincare and my skin gets really dehydrated this time of year
I’m glad I timed it well haha I guess because I’ve just come out of winter, so was able to trial all these goodies over the last few months!
This was perfect timing, I've just ran out of my Hydro Boost moisturiser! It worked well for me but my skin is needing some extra hydration now the colder weather is here. I'm going to check out the Hado Korean one as my skin could definitely do with a drink of water atm!
You might even find layering the Hada Labo one underneath a couple of drops of your favourite face oil might help for winter xx
The Saturday Skin Waterfall Glacier cream is great! I live in NYC so winters can be brutal and it's beautiful under makeup during the day and if my skin gets dehydrated, I do exactly what Arna suggested, and add a few drops of Squalane or Marula oil on top or mixed in.
Neutrogena Hydro Gelcream mixed with The Ordinary Marula Oil is very good for dry skintype, looooove it
Thanks for this gread review, I‘m very interested in the Hada Labo one!
I love Marula oil 🙌🏻 you’re most welcome x
I have combo skin. I love the Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel but I always feel my skin feels a bit tight, so I will give the water cream a go!
Thank you Arna ❤
The Gel Cream :) might help with water loss xx
Of your recommendations, my skin loves the Paula’s Choice 2% BHA liquid. But I had no luck with the Clinique moisture surge 72-hour cream. My skin is too dry for it...or something.
I found a Paula’s Choice moisturiser that works really well. But I also tried their new pore purifier with algae, it’s in a pink squeezy tube, and has salicylic acid in it. It made my skin glow so much 😯
Oh nice! I’ll have to look into that Pore Purifier!
I have ultra sensitive, reactive and acne prone skin and I love the Etude House Soonjung toner but decided not to try the Barrier Cream as it contains bitter orange extract. It is at the bottom of the ingredients list but my skin hates these types of flower extracts so I just didn't want to chance it. I love the Saturday Skin Waterfall Glacier cream! It's a water cream so it bursts when applied and transforms from a gel/cream texture into one that actually feels like water. I have combo oily skin and it provides great hydration!
Ahhh yes true. I don’t mind extracts, as they no way near as sensitising as artificial fragrance or essential oils, but for those with very reactive skin it can be better to avoid them!
@@ArnaAlayneMorton I've become hyper vigilant about ingredients because I'm tired of dealing with reaction after reaction. I've also stopped looking for the next best product because constantly changing my skincare routine wasn't doing me any favors. What works best for me is a mix French drugstore and Asian products, all of which are fragrance, essential oil and mostly plant and flower extract free. They're also less expensive than the over hyped American brands
Glad you’ve found what works for you!! Xx
I do have a dry skin type but I still find this interesting and helpful. I love the Neutrogena Hydroboost product, here in the US the two types look almost identical but the gel cream one is marked for extra dry skin. I love it but do need other products to really lock in the moisture. I also tried the Hada Labo one on your recommendation. I ordered off Amazon and I think I got the real product but who knows for sure. I like it but not as much as Neutrogena. Right now I'm trying the brand Belif and I really like their moisturizer and eye cream.
The Neutrogena is probably better for you than the Hada Labo as it’s a little more occlusive, so I’m not surprised you preferred it :) The Belif products are lovely, although they do have fragrance so that’s why I don’t use them. Brilliant texture though x
I've used the Belif Moisturizing Eye Bomb and True Cream Moisture Bomb as my night cream for years and absolutely love them!
i have oily acne prone skin, but i’m curious & really wanna try the cosrx one because i’ve used their products before and its works well for me.. hopefully it wont be too much for me & wont break me out..
I love the Belif Aqua Bomb but I think I need to try the Neutrogena Hydro Boost as it seems very similar. Great video! TFS!💜💜💜
I think the Belif Aqua Bomb is more similar to the Hada Labo! I use to love the Belif one but it has fragrance so I avoid it now xx
@@ArnaAlayneMorton I'll have to check the Hado Labo one, too. I have rosacea so I really should be sticking to fragrance free skincare. Thank you for the recommendation!💜💜💜
You’re very welcome 🥰
The moisturizer video!!! Yay!!
Hello you can watch this video on hyaluronic acid cream thay focuses on the problems faced using this product and the solution to it.
ua-cam.com/video/E4HXwTCbnG0/v-deo.html
The Clinique moisture surge was my favorite hydrater for quite a while! I've gone completely cruelty free in the last year- does anyone know a CF "dupe" or something with similar ingredients??
I’m on the hunt for this as well! The closest options I’ve seen are tatcha water cream (can’t afford) and hada labo Skin plumping gel. Good luck!
Some really great products! I have both dry and dehydrated skin, especially since it’s winter here. So yes, it can be difficult to manage. Have you ever tried any products containing snow mushroom? It’s similar to hyaluronic acid but has smaller particles which may penetrate the skin better. I’ve had good luck with it:)
Thanks, chickadee🍃🌸
I haven't come across that ingredient before! I'll look into it :)
Arna Alayne Yes, read up on it. I think it’s something you may like:))
Was looking forward to this video!
I really liked the finish of the Clinique one, but unfortunately it irritated my skin. Clinique is fragrance free, but they often use all kinds of plant extracts... I do like the Neutrogena hydro boost
True! The Neutrogena one is much more simple in ingredients x
Atrue spring green tea watery calming cream is an excellent one (Korean brand) which has won awards.
I’ll have to look into it :)
For those with dry skin, I recommend Peter Thomas Roth’s Water Drench.
Melbourne Daiso is so much better than Brisbane Daiso. I wish we could get Hada Labo in store here!
We only get a small range, but they have this product which is really convenient!
Hi Arna.
I'm from Malaysia. I just loved your video so much. It is just so satisfying because I have dehydrated skin and I love gel cream moisturizer. I have tried the simple gel cream and for me, it is enough to relieve my thirsty skin. I hope you can try one of the best hydrating gel cream from Korea which is the Always Be Pure Forest Therapy Ultra Calming Cream.
Lots of love from Malaysia. ❤️
Thank you!! I’ll check it out 🥰🥰
These videos are my favorite. You should do more of these. (But only your favorite if possible. I’m not interested in the ones you hate lol. No hate tho- just a friendly suggestion!💕)
Haha great! I know I have subscribers that also enjoy hearing what products don't work for me, so I hope you don't mind that I include these at the end of the videos! No harm done, you can always click out after the favourites x
I got a 200ml tub of moisture surge in the airport when coming home from Greece - only worked out the price of 1.5 50ml tubs too!
Oh that’s a good idea! I really want a jumbo tub just for the novelty haha
Have you tried Krave Beauty’s new moisturizer? I think you’d really like it. It’s called “Oat So Simple Water Cream”. Fragrance free! Silicone free! Hydrating! Perfect for oily skin. It’s from a Korean based brand. The ceo, Liah Yoo, also has a UA-cam channel and makes great informative content on skin care.
Ooooh it sounds nice!!
Ugh I can't wait until Krave beauty starts to ship internationally!
Hey Arna,
LOVE your videos! I was just wondering what your thoughts are on dimethicone and if you find it to be a problem in the neutrogena gel cream?
Hey! I use to avoid it, but I think my skin copes fine with it!
Was just saying I needed a new moisturizer!! Which ones are you using in your routine right now?
Currently brought the Neutrogena one with me to Canberra :)
I've got a dry, but not flaky dry, quite sensitive skintype and honestly the Clinique Moisture Surge Intense is my skins best friend most of the time, as long as I don't do anything to it it don't like.. But I will also admit I haven't dared trying anything else since I got recommend it 5 years, or so, ago, because my skin can very easy get very irritated if I change to something that has an ingredient it don't like - which can be hard because I don't know for sure which one that is.. But if I stick to stuff marked to dry sensitive skin and stay clear of alcohol, fragrance, parabeens and essential oils(I don't know if it's all essential oils it doesn't like but I had a really horrible experience with a alcohol- and fragrance(other than the essential oils) free origin toner once so now I just stay clear of them if possible), then at least there's a smaller chance of my skin reacting all kinds of crazy..
Their overnight mask is also lovely!
Loved the options and the video 🥰
Yay so pleased!
Is it good for oily skin to use simple hydrating gel???
I find it is :)
Im oily skin but i dont like the vitamin tree water gel. It feels way too gel like, Like it still a bit heavy on skin and feels silicone like?? I was hoping it has a water like texture so im kinda disappointed with it
my skin is oily I have few acne in my face but not a lot like I'm fine with it and I have a little of fungal acne on my forehead and I use simple hydrating gel do you think it's okay I will be really thankful if you helped me.
Can you get Peach and Lily Matcha Pudding Antioxidant Cream in Australia? Magical for my combo skin! Literally the texture of pudding! Always end up going back to it!
I’ve never heard of it! Sounds lovely!
Awesome video! I use the elf Hello Hydration face cream. It's $12 usd and it's pretty good for dry skin. I watch Jessica too and she likes the elf cream too. 💕
Do you have any videos covering your fave sunscreens?
Yep! Best Sunscreens | High Protection & Fragrance-Free ua-cam.com/video/PBtPwDcmd0E/v-deo.html
I have a dry and dehydrated skin type but also have malassezia ( fungal acne) problem. Which one should I use? Btw I'm 16 years old.
Soon Jung I think :)
This has been very helpful. May I know which occlusive cream/gel you put on at night over everything else??
I personally don't use anything super occlusive anymore as I found it would block my pores, but if I feel my skin does need a little more oil, I'll use a couple of drops of the Thursday Plantation Macadamia Face Oil :) I also sometimes reach for the Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask which is nice and nourishing if my skin needs and extra boost!
Arna Alayne Thankyou for the reply....
Arna, how did you find out if your skin lacks water or oil? I'm trying to figure this out myself! I feel like I have a similar problem to you but I'm not 100% sure.
Well, I tend to have fairly oily skin but my complexion can easily look dull and sort of withered 😅 so if I’m using lots of Hydrating ingredients, I find it balances things well. I do sometimes use a drop or two of facial oil as well if I’m not feeling quite as oily x
I accidentally bought neutrogena water cream and even though the texture is great it is so heavy on fragrance :(
😪
Out of curiosity, have you tried the CeraVe Moisturising Lotion?
Yes it wasn’t for my skin type xx
Arna Alayne which one did you try ? The pm one ?
I don't know if you mentioned it before...what type of skin do you have?
Normal to Oily x
Ia cosrx hyaloronic cream vegan?
So what was the favourite then?
Stay tuned 😉
I need a hyaluronic acid-FREE moisturizer for sensitive skin. Any recommendations?? I’m combo-very very oily tzone but get very dry spots in the winter. Thanks!
The Etude House Soon Jung Hydro Barrier Cream that I mentioned doesn’t contain Hyaluronic Acid :) that should work for you xx
Arna Alayne thank you! I’m new to your channel, what kind of doctor are you??
I have a PhD in Music :)
Arna Alayne oooo! Fun!!! 🎼 I’ll go watch one of your music videos!
🥰
Great video ...thanks
Leaving my view and my thumbs up for now but will refer to this video in the future as I just bought new skincare and you're tempting me too much :P
Haha thank you!!
Dr. Arna love were you mauled by a cat ot something you have some nasty scratches on your left arm. The gel cream I love is the FAB Hello FAB Coconut Water Cream of course it's cruelty free but it's also clean beauty and yes it can be a wee over priced at $45 but it always goes on sale at Sephora for $21.
Oh that’s a good sale!!
💜 💜 💜
Hi Arna, I have been trying Krave Beauty and The Great Barrier Relief Serum is amazing. I suffer from dehydration too and this is beautiful. I live in sydney and buy it online from lilabeauty.com.au Sending a big hug xo
Oh that sounds great! Xx
You are so cute!
