We had real women check out some of the moisturizers from our 2016 Beauty Awards! Find the best cream for your skin type (and the Singapore climate!)

Calm sensitive skin with Chorus Hydrate

Sensitive skin has a damaged moisture barrier, so you want to look for calming and healing ingredients. This cream has lots of both. Kelp extract soothes skin. Moor clay draws out the toxins. Fruit oil and glycerin bring in glow-giving moisture and antioxidants.

It’s quite rich and is absolutely perfect if you’re skin’s really dry. One beauty tester used this after a weekend when she had way too much sun and cocktails. “It breathed life back into my skin! My forehead and cheeks were very sensitive and red, and other skincare products would sting when I applied them. This was gentle but really moisturizing.”

Best of all, Chorus Supernatural has 100% naturally sourced ingredients and comes at a really affordable price. Want to know more? Read our article on this super and natural line or visit their website.

Save time (and your skin!) with Dr. Ci Labo Aqua Collagen Gel Enrich

We’re big fans of the 10-step Korean skincare regimen, but sometimes we just don’t have the time! This gel cream that does the work of 8 products. It’s your toner, moisturizer, makeup primer and more.

You will love the anti-ageing ingredients: collagen, elastin, squalane and hylauronate work together to fight lines, dullness and sagging. Read more about Dr. Ci Labo Aqua Collagen Gel Enrich in our article or watch the video:

“It’s definitely the best cream for busy women!” says Sharon, a working mother. “I apply this right after my bath, get dressed, and by the time I’m ready for makeup my skin is moist and primed.”

Revitalize dehydrated skin with Sothys HYDRA 3HA

Meet dry skin’s best friend. The key ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a molecule that grabs moisture. Mushroom and soy extracts heal and nourish the skin.

Karla, a diving instructor who experienced terrible sunburn and dryness, used this for 7 days and saw a visible improvement. Her sandpaper skin was softer and smoother. She still had flaking around the nose and mouth (so you should probably combine this set with a gentle face scrub). “For me, this is the best cream for dry and damaged skin – I’m living proof!”

Get radiant skin with SK II Cellumination Day Surge

The trademark “Pitera” complex that has vitamins, amino acids, minerals and organic acids that slough off dead skin cells and renew the outer layer. Start using this now to get a fair, radiant and even complexion by Christmas!

It absorbs quickly even on dry skin, and doesn’t feel heavy on oily skin. We love that it feels weightless after just a few seconds. This is a good sign that we can use this even on very hot days or before applying makeup.

It has a light scent but is less “chemical-y” than many whitening/brightening products. “I’ve tried other brightening products but my skin would get red or irritated,” said Sheila, who has acne-prone and sensitive skin. “This is very effective but gentle. My skin looks healthier and more even.”

Rescue ageing skin with Lionesse Black Onyx Cream

This has four of the most powerful anti-ageing ingredients used today: collagen, hyaluronate, Vitamin A and Vitamin C. The “X factor” is the experience. The perfume, packaging and Gemstone story add to the spa-like experience.

For such a replenishing cream it’s actually light and absorbed quickly. You can use this under makeup – your foundation will look better on soft, plumped skin. It’s also ideal for a hot, humid day when you want to skin feel moist but not greasy. “I’ve been using this for two weeks and my skin has never looked better,” says Amanda, 43. “It’s more expensive than the others I’ve tried but it’s given better results than any of them combined.”
