Simple moisturising

A good simple moisturising routine focuses on hydration, barrier protection, and easy application. Look for non-greasy textures that absorb quickly, especially if you wear makeup or sunscreen during the day. If you have sensitive or dry skin, prefer fragrance-free formulas and products with gentle actives to minimise irritation.

Keep things straightforward by choosing a dependable moisturiser that you can use morning and night, and consider a lightweight option for daytime that layers well with sunscreen and makeup.

Key ingredients to seek include hyaluronic acid for moisture retention, glycerin for humectant hydration, and ceramides to repair the skin barrier. Lightweight oils like squalane can moisturise without clogging pores. For daytime products, antioxidants and SPF add protection while keeping things simple.

If you prefer fragrance-free options, you’ll still find formulas with powerful hydrators. Look for products labeled non-comedogenic and fast-absorbing for a comfortable, no-shine finish.

Yes. Look for fragrance-free or hypoallergenic formulas, dermatologist-tested options, and products labeled for sensitive skin. Rich creams with ceramides and hyaluronic acid provide lasting relief for dry patches, while lighter options with soothing ingredients work well for sensitive faces without irritation.

If you have redness or irritation, start with a small amount to test tolerance, and consider a barrier-supporting moisturiser as a daily staple. Wowcher UK offers a range of sensitive-skin friendly moisturisers that prioritise comfort and gentleness.

If you’ll be outdoors, choose a moisturiser with at least SPF 15-30. This keeps your routine simple by combining hydration and sun protection in one product. For deeper sun exposure, you can layer a separate sunscreen on top, but a good SPF moisturiser reduces steps while preserving hydration.

For many, a breathable, non-greasy formula with mineral or chemical sunscreen is ideal. Look for moisturisers that won’t leave a white cast and that pair well with makeup or a daytime routine.

Look for multipacks, travel-size sets, or bundles that let you sample several moisturisers without committing to full-size bottles. Check for fragrance-free options, daily-use gels, or night creams with hydrating ingredients. Wowcher UK often features limited-time discounts, verified brands, and customer reviews to help you compare value and quality.

Keep an eye out for deals on fragrance-free moisturisers, hyaluronic-acid serums, and lightweight day creams designed to layer with sunscreen. Bundle savings, seasonal promos, and clearance offers can maximise your hydration routine while staying within budget.

To round out a minimal skincare line, consider a gentle cleanser, a hydrating toner, and a sunscreen suitable for daily wear. A serum with hyaluronic acid or glycerin can boost hydration without complicating your regimen. Look for fragrance-free cleansers and alcohol-free toners to keep your skin comfortable all day.

Travel-size options are perfect for trying new products without commitment. Combine a moisturiser with a hydrating serum or a gentle cleanser in a Wowcher UK bundle to create a complete, simple routine that travels well and delivers consistent comfort.

Many brands offer unisex formulas with neutral scents and universally appealing textures. Packaging is often sleek and gender-neutral, making these products ideal for shared bathroom shelves or gifts. If you want something for both men and women, choose a lightweight, fragrance-free option that absorbs quickly and layers easily with sunscreen or makeup.

Wowcher UK lists unisex moisturisers in various finishes, gel, cream, and lotion, so you can find a simple moisturising option that suits every skin type, from oily to dry, without fuss or complexity.
