Anyone who loves experimenting with skincare will tell you this: a good moisturiser is not only a must-have, but it can also be just the game-changing product that you need in your skincare routine. Depending on the formulation, it can fortify your skin barrier, fade away dark spots, calm irritation and boost overall radiance—of course, apart from doing its primary job of hydrating the skin. At Tira, we’re always trying out the latest formulations (or reusing some old favourites that never cease to amaze us), to bring you only the best recommendations. Ahead, we spotlight what we’re currently obsessing over.

“First things first, don’t let anyone tell you that oily skin doesn’t need a moisturiser. Even though it can be slightly tricky to choose the ideal formulation for oily skin, ultimately all skin types do need hydration. Personally, I was looking for something that is nourishing but does not feel heavy or greasy. And this one just fit the bill perfectly. It’s supercharged with a cocktail of barrier-boosting ingredients like ceramides and peptides; and that keeps my sensitivity in check. So that’s great. I also love that it has a lightweight texture that absorbs almost instantly.”
“Having dry but acne-prone skin can be rather confusing. I’ve often struggled with finding a moisturiser that offers adequate hydration and keeps my skin feeling soft through the day—without breaking it out. Korean skincare has helped me solve a lot of these concerns. This centella asiatica face cream not only adds a serious dose of moisture, but also soothes inflammation and prevents breakouts. Its water-based texture leaves my skin feeling so dewy and I’ve also noticed a more even skin tone with consistent use."
“I’ve always been a fan of French pharmacy finds because of their no-fuss, result-oriented formulas—and honestly, this one’s no different. It hydrates my dry cheeks while controlling the oiliness in my T-zone. I love how gentle and nourishing this cream feels. It has also made my skin more resistant to flare-ups over time. I use it on my face and neck, and often on my hands too when they’re feeling a little too dry. It also works great under makeup and preps my skin well.”
“My skin has always been very dry, so a good, heavy-duty moisturiser is a non-negotiable in my routine. I’ve tried many promising formulas, but this multitasking d’you moisturiser beats almost all of them. It contains a bunch of different ceramides to fortify the skin barrier and prevent moisture loss. It feels instantly soothing and has also made my skin less prone to dryness and dehydration over time. The best part is that the texture feels super light to use and does not leave any greasy residue that’s sometimes common with richer moisturisers.”
“It took me a while to figure out the right products for my combination skin, but this lightweight hydrator just hits the spot. It’s been my go-to moisturiser for quite a while now. The watery-gel texture absorbs almost instantly without feeling heavy or greasy. It delivers lasting hydration, but keeps my T-zone shine-free through the day. Plus, I love that it is oil- and fragrance-free, so I never have to worry about any potential breakouts.”
