Moisturising gel

Is moisturising gel the same as moisturising cream? Which is better?

Although moisturising gels and creams both have a moisturising function, these skincare products differ in terms of application and texture. Gel moisturisers are light, fast-absorbing and ideal for oily skin or warm weather, whereas creams are thicker and more suitable for dry skin.

Is one better than the other? It depends on your personal preference and skin type. Both moisturisers provide essential hydration and benefits based on their formulations. At MiiN we recommend you always have one of each so you can adapt your routine to the season, or to your skin’s condition and needs.

How to use facial moisturising gel

To get the most out of your facial moisturising gel, apply a walnut-sized amount to your face, neck and décolleté in the moisturiser step of your routine. Gently spread in an upward motion and wait for it to absorb before continuing with the rest of your skincare ritual.

The most important thing is to choose a moisturiser that suits your skin type.
