14 Face Creams to Carry You Into the Cold Weather Season

As the temperature drops and the last bottles of rosé disappear, behold, the other telltale signs of autumn: dull, tight skin with flaky patches. Fortunately, the latest moisturizers are thick with ingredients that protect from the elements, repair from within, and range in textures from lightweight lotions to rich balms. La Prairie’s Caviar Luxe Cream has been a bestseller since the late ’90s, thanks to firming and antioxidant marine extracts. The company’s newest incarnation, called Cream Sheer, is just as hydrating as the original with none of the heaviness.

If holding onto a certain summery radiance is your aim, Shiseido Bio-Performance Glow Revival Cream moisturizes with hyaluronic acid, boosts circulation under the skin with cinnamon and yeast extracts, and speeds cell renewal with caffeine and Chinese herb Chai Hu. As for those more concerned with a chic-looking dopp kit, Context’s skin-brightening moisturizer features Vitamins C and E, free-radical-fighting allantoin, and soothing marigold extract, along with a sharp modern design.

 

 

Bedtime calls for an extra layer of protection—and with no makeup to layer on top, what you look for in an overnight cream in terms of texture and ingredients may be slightly different. Topping the list of recent favorites: Farmacy Sleep Tight Renewing Night Balm. When warmed between the palms, the antioxidant-packed balm transforms into a smooth oil-gel that drenches skin with blackcurrant seed, repairs with echinacea, and firms with collagen-stimulating plant extracts.

Here are the formulas that work day and night to make your summer-to-fall skincare transition seamless—so you can focus on the all-important changeover from slip dresses to sweaters.
