Pardon the cliche, but the turn of a new year is basically a bat signal to overhaul your entire skin care routine to create a stronger defense against the next batch of cooler months. The acid-rich serum you’ve been using could benefit from a super hydrating one, and if you weren’t using an eye cream before, a slew of nourishing formulas are at your disposal to hide evidence of those sleepless nights. Most importantly, it’s the perfect time to invest in a rich, thiccc face cream to protect your skin’s barrier against the biting chill. Good thing Nordstrom is having a massive sale on moisturizers, and we found the absolute best ones that deserve your dollars and attention.
From now until January 14, Nordstrom will be shaving off 15 percent off some of its best-selling face moisturizers. It’s time to stock up on Charlotte Tilbury’s Magic Cream to perfect your pro-level base routine or finally try out the La Mer Crème de la Mer that Santa forgot to gift you over Christmas. Ahead, shop nine of our favorite, top-rated face moisturizers.
The creme de la creme of luxury moisturizers, La Mer’s cult-favorite Moisturizing Cream is built around the brand’s signature Miracle Broth—a cocktail of sea kelp, nutrients, and vitamins—to renew, restore, and rejuvenate dry, dull skin.
Mostly, every beauty obsessive’s makeup look ends with Charlotte Tilbury’s viral setting spray, but your base is guaranteed to be more flawless if it begins with the Magic Cream. This cream addresses fine lines and wrinkles via a hyaluronic acid-packed formula that leaves the skin smooth, supple, and makeup ready.
Here’s a gentle, nourishing moisturizer that arms your skin’s barrier with ingredients to boost moisture and ward off dullness. Squalane and glacial glycoprotein are the key players in this jar, both imparting hydration and skin renewal.
Every celebrity loves this gorgeous blue vial, but why? The Rich Cream, formulated with Augustinus Bader’s trademark TFC8® complex, has a rich texture comprised of hydrating ingredients that encourage elasticity and barrier strength.
If you lean more dry during the cooler months, the Bobbi Brown primer-moisturizer hybrid is the perfect canvas for makeup application. The skin is coated in hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and a blend of vitamins B, C, and E for maximum moisture surge.
A loss of elasticity in the skin can make you look drab and lifeless. Sulwahsoo’s Essential Comfort Firming Cream is the antidote to a firmer, brighter complexion, thanks to its herbal-infused Jaum Moisturizing Complex.
Retinol is an ingredient that takes some getting used to. However, Dr. Dennis Gross makes it easy to incorporate the anti-aging powerhouse into your routine seamlessly. This cream combines retinol and ferulic acid (an antioxidant derived from plants) to boost cell turnover and improve texture and tone.
Even the driest skin won’t stand a chance against this airy, creamy moisturizer. Youth to the People’s Air Whip takes kale—the leafy goodness you forget to drink daily (we’ve all been there)—and hyaluronic acid to create a blanket of antioxidants and vitamins for increased moisture and suppleness.
Besides the faint yet pleasant smell, Fresh’s Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream delivers a surge of moisture via Damask rose extract and hyaluronic acid so your skin’s barrier remains strong and hydrated throughout the day.
