Skin Script Hydrating Moisturizer

Skin Script Hydrating Moisturizer combines shea butter, cocoa butter, squalane and plant oils with glycerin and urea to address both sides of dry, dehydrated skin: adding moisture while helping the skin hold onto water.
I especially like this for skin that is naturally dry year-round or has become drier with age. It's also a great winter moisturizer when cold, dry weather leaves your usual moisturizer feeling like it isn't quite enough. It gives skin more moisture than a lightweight lotion without leaving it feeling greasy or overly coated.
If your skin feels tight shortly after moisturizing, develops dry or rough patches, or simply never seems to stay moisturized for long, this is where I would move to a richer formula.

What Skin Script Hydrating Moisturizer Does
- Replenishes moisture in dry and dehydrated skin
- Helps relieve the tight, uncomfortable feeling that comes with dryness
- Softens rough, flaky texture
- Helps reduce moisture loss
- Supports a healthy skin barrier
- Leaves skin soft and supple without a greasy finish
- Provides additional moisture when skin becomes drier with age or during winter
Key Ingredients
Shea Butter + Cocoa Butter
Rich emollients that soften dry skin and help reduce moisture loss.
Squalane
Helps replenish the skin's natural lipids while leaving the surface soft and smooth.
Glycerin + Urea
Humectants that help attract and retain water, especially helpful when skin is dehydrated as well as dry.
Rosehip + Sweet Almond Oil
Nourishing plant oils that provide fatty acids and help soften and condition dry skin. Contains a nut-derived ingredient.
How to Use
Apply after your serum, morning and/or evening. Massage a small amount over the face, neck and décolleté.
If your skin is both dry and dehydrated, apply a hydrating serum first. The serum provides additional water-based hydration, while Hydrating Moisturizer adds the richer moisture dry skin needs and helps reduce moisture loss.
In the morning, finish with daily sun protection.
Pairs Well With

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I know if I need a richer moisturizer?
A: If your skin still feels tight after moisturizing, becomes dry again quickly or regularly develops rough or flaky areas, your current moisturizer may not be providing enough moisture.
Q: What is the difference between dry and dehydrated skin?
A: Dry skin lacks oil, while dehydrated skin lacks water. You can have both at the same time. This formula combines oils and butters for dryness with humectants such as glycerin and urea to help address dehydration.
Q: Is Skin Script Hydrating Moisturizer good for mature skin?
A: Yes, especially when skin has become drier with age. Shea butter, cocoa butter, squalane and plant oils provide the additional moisture that drier mature skin often needs.
Q: Is Skin Script Hydrating Moisturizer a good winter moisturizer?
A: Yes. I often recommend it as a winter moisturizer even for someone who doesn't need a richer cream year-round. If cold, dry weather leaves your skin feeling tighter or your usual moisturizer isn't quite enough, this is an easy seasonal switch.
Q: Is Skin Script Hydrating Moisturizer heavy or greasy?
A: It's richer than a gel or lightweight lotion, but it absorbs well. I recommend it when a lighter moisturizer isn't keeping your skin comfortable for long enough.
Q: Do I still need a hydrating serum underneath it?
A: If your skin is dehydrated, I recommend one. A hydrating serum adds water-based hydration, while your moisturizer provides the oils and emollients that help soften skin and reduce moisture loss.
