The best gel-cream moisturisers for weightless hydration
Hydration without the sl-ick factor
Moisturisers are a staple in our skin care routines but modern innovation means we no longer need to settle for occlusive creams that sweat off our faces by lunch.
We’d like to give a special shout-out to whoever invented gel-cream formula moisturisers because the lightweight, fast-absorbing format is a literal godsend.
Catering to everyone from oily to dry skin types, these moisturiser formulas are packed full of hardworking hydrators that help to rehydrate skin without disrupting your makeup, making them the perfect pick for your day-to-day comings and goings, whatever they may be.
Need a lightweight serum? Here are 8 hydrating hyaluronic acid serums for glowing glass skin.

Briar Clark got her start in the media industry in 2017, as an intern for Marie Claire and InStyle. Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
