Top Selling Face Creams In Australia

The big beauty retailers have revealed their most popular formulations. - by Meg Bellemore

Top Selling Face Creams In Australia

While purchasing a face cream sounds simple enough, once you are confronted with shelves upon shelves of product—not to mention countless pages of options courtesy of beauty e-tailers—the task can be deceptively daunting.

With thousands of different formulas on offer—each promising the elimination of wrinkles and discolouration, the plumpness of skin, and unparalleled hydration—pinpointing the exact face moisturiser to add to cart is next to impossible.

Sure, you can take the recommendations of celebrities with flawless complexions as gospel, or spend countless hours researching the benefits of a single ingredient, but knowing what face moisturisers other people count amongst their favourites, and buy on repeat, sure does help.

As does knowing when and how to use them. For super-soft skin that has a lit-from-within glow, apply your face moisturiser on clean skin, layered over a serum, such as Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Synchronized Recovery Complex II. Start in the centre of your face and work outwards, patting your moisturiser onto your skin.

What Are The Best Face Creams?

Scroll down to see the round up of the best-selling face creams from Australia's top beauty retailers.
