A face cream is an essential step to hydrate, nourish, and protect skin every day. Depending on its formula, it can also act on targeted needs such as wrinkles, firmness, or blemishes. HUYGENS face creams combine high-performing botanical actives with textures suited to different skin types, in natural, certified organic formulas designed to durably preserve the skin's balance.
A face cream helps maintain hydration, preserve skin comfort and protect the skin from the factors that can weaken it every day. Depending on its formula, it can also meet more targeted needs such as the appearance of wrinkles, loss of firmness or blemishes.
How do I choose my face cream?
The choice depends first on the skin type, its priority need and the desired texture. Skin lacking water will appreciate a hydrating formula; uncomfortable skin may look for more nourishment; mature skin may favor a targeted action on wrinkles or firmness. The season and the time of day can also change the skin's needs.
What is the difference between a moisturizer and an anti-aging cream?
A moisturizer aims first and foremost to keep water in the skin and improve its suppleness. An anti-aging cream generally combines this function with actives targeting certain visible signs of aging, such as wrinkles or loss of firmness. The two approaches are not opposed: good hydration remains essential at any age.
Do I need a cream in addition to a serum?
Most of the time, yes. The serum gives the skin a targeted response and concentrated actives, while the cream completes its action by bringing comfort and protection. Applied after the serum, it notably helps limit water loss and seal hydration into the skin, to maintain it for longer. The recommended order is therefore: cleansing, eye contour, serum, then cream. Depending on the skin type, the season and the formula used, a lighter routine can sometimes be enough.
Can the same cream be used in the morning and in the evening?
Yes, if the formula suits the skin's needs at both times of day. Some people nonetheless prefer a lighter texture in the morning and a richer or regenerating formula in the evening. At HUYGENS, we support your skin throughout the day with our Lift & Firmness, Hyaluronic and Night Elixir ranges.
How much face cream should I apply?
A small amount is generally enough to cover the face and neck. Spread a small hazelnut-sized amount of cream on clean skin after the lighter products, then massage gently until absorbed. Adding a lot of product does not necessarily increase its effectiveness: regularity and a suitable formula matter more.
How do I adapt my cream to the seasons?
Needs can change with temperature, humidity and lifestyle. In warm weather, a fresh, light texture may be more comfortable. In winter or when the skin feels tighter, a more enveloping formula can help preserve comfort and suppleness.
