When we asked Los Angeles-based board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mina Amin about the increasingly important role of moisturizers in skin care, she explained that as skin ages, it naturally produces less oil.

“Moisturizer can help replace these oils and lock water into the skin, helping you maintain your complexion and combat signs of aging like dark spots, dryness and sagging,” says Amin, who works at California Dermatology Specialists.

In addition to simply providing vital moisture, Amin says many formulas contain other active ingredients that can help treat mature skin problems such as loss of volume, thinness, sun spots and fine lines.

“(Ingredients like) ceramides help prevent moisture loss and strengthen the skin barrier,” she said, also mentioning ingredients like niacinamide, antioxidants and peptides that can support collagen formation in the skin, as well as retinol, a dermatologist-recommended staple for promoting collagen production by increasing cell turnover.

Amin, along with other skincare experts (as well as reviewers who claim to have mature skin), have suggested the following list of moisturizers to suit every budget, need, and concern.
