Moisturizers

What Are Skin Moisturizers?

Moisturizers are skincare products that come in various forms, including creams, lotions, gels, and ointments. They lock in water, nourish the skin, and strengthen its natural barrier. Skin moisturizers typically work through a blend of:

• Humectants to draw moisture into the skin;
• Occlusives to seal in hydration and prevent water loss;
• Emollients to soften, smooth, and repair the skin surface.

At CanMedDirect, we share the secret to softer, healthier skin with healthcare professionals and home patients. Our high-quality skincare moisturizers help you manage dryness, aging, and sensitivity through hydration, protection, and comfort for every skin need.

Skin Moisturizer Benefits

Although it takes time and patience to find a skin moisturizer that works best for you, we are here to help. The basics, on which you should base your skincare, are:

• Your skin type
• Gels are better for oily skin
• Lotions for normal/combination
• Richer creams or ointments for dry or winter conditions
• Core ingredients and your skin’s reaction to them
• Humectants like hyaluronic acid or glycerin
• Occlusives such as petrolatum or dimethicone
• Emollients like squalane
• Results you want to achieve
• Anti‑aging agents
• Brightening actives
• Ceramides for barrier repair
• The climate you live in
• Lighter formulas excel in humidity
• Richer ones in cold, dry weather

If you consider all these factors, you’ll be sure to find the best skin moisturizer at CanMedDirect and get the maximum results. To unlock all the benefits, such as long-lasting hydration, skin protection, and anti-aging effects, you must be consistent and apply skin moisturizers daily or as prescribed by your doctor to damp skin post-cleansing.
