Between the dry, frigid outdoor air and the heat being pumped out of your vents, your skin can take a serious beating in the winter. “These conditions strip the skin of natural protective lipids and proteins, compromising the skin’s barrier,” says Mona Gohara, MD, a dermatologist at the Yale School of Medicine. The solution: a thicker moisturizer. You wouldn’t wear your summer sundress into a blizzard, so why should you wear the same lightwei moisturizer? Here, five cold-weather approved hydrators for every skin type.
If you have acne
Try: CeraVe Moisturizing Cream ($16; amazon.com)
Acne sufferers tend to stay far away from heavy creams but if you choose one that’s non-comedogenic, it can help instead of harm. CeraVe strips out all the bad, irritating ingredients and only leaves the derm approved ones – dimethicone, glycerin, and ceramides – so skin is left hydrated without any other baggage.

If you have sensitive skin
Try: DERMADoctor Calm Cool & Corrected ($85; sephora.com)
If you’re prone to skin irritation, read labels carefully; you’ll want to see “hypoallergenic” and “fragrance free.” This moisturizer uses hyaluronic acid, aloe vera, chamomile extract, squalene, and shea butter to protect and hydrate delicate, sensitive skin without making it angry.

If you want to fight wrinkles
Try: L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Volume Filler Daily Re-Volumizing Moisturizer Cream ($21; target.com)
Hyaluronic acid fights wrinkles and is also major hydrator, so it works double duty for your skin. This one offers a major dose of the miracle ingredient so you can see results fast while fighting the winter elements.

If you want to brighten up
Try: Peter Thomas Roth Camu Camu Power C X 30 Vitamin C Brightening Moisturizer ($72; sephora.com)
Look for vitamin C if you want to illuminate your complexion. This one boasts 30 times more vitamin C than an orange and contains glycerin and avocado oil to lock in moisture.

If you have oily skin
Try: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel ($17; amazon.com)
To prevent looking like you have an oil spill on your face, always opt for a lotion or gel formula over cream. Creams can be too heavy on oily skin, clogging pores and adding shine. This gel is packed with hyaluronic acid to quench skin’s thirst for moisture while also being oil free and non-comedogenic so you’re not left with a tacky feel.
