Gel, cream or lotion — what is the difference?
Gels are mostly water and feel weightless, ideal for oily skin and summer. Lotions are light but a little richer, good for normal skin. Creams are thicker and lock in moisture, ideal for dry skin, winter and night-time. Many people in Pakistan use a gel in summer and switch to a cream in December and January.
Do I need a separate night cream?
Not always. If your day moisturiser keeps your skin comfortable until morning, you can use it at night too. A night cream helps if your skin feels dry or tight when you wake up, or if you want extra nourishment. Good night options are Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream, CeraVe PM Facial Moisturising Lotion 52ml and Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream 100ml.
How do I apply moisturiser properly?
- Apply on slightly damp skin, straight after toner or serum.
- Use a pea-sized amount for the face and a little more for the neck.
- Press it in with your palms rather than rubbing hard.
- In the morning, wait a minute, then apply SPF50+ sunscreen.

Frequently asked questions
Which moisturiser is best in Pakistan?
There is no single best moisturiser for everyone. For oily skin, ISNTREE Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel Cream is a good light choice. For dry skin, CeraVe Moisturizing Cream is a reliable ceramide cream. For sensitive skin, Dr.Althea 345 Relief Cream is popular. COSRX Advanced Snail 92 All in One Cream suits most skin types.
Which moisturiser is best for oily skin?
Oily skin does best with a gel or gel-cream moisturiser. ISNTREE Hyaluronic Acid Aqua Gel Cream and SKIN1004 Poremizing Light Gel Cream hydrate without a greasy finish, which makes them comfortable in Pakistan's humid summer. Apply a thin layer morning and night, then sunscreen in the day.
Which moisturiser is best for dry skin?
Dry skin needs a cream with barrier ingredients such as ceramides and panthenol. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream, Purito Seoul Luminous Ceramide Moisturizer and Purito Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream are good options. Apply on damp skin and use a richer cream at night in winter.
Can I use CeraVe moisturiser on my face?
Yes. CeraVe moisturisers are made for face and body. CeraVe Moisturizing Cream suits dry skin, CeraVe Moisturising Lotion is lighter, and CeraVe PM Facial Moisturising Lotion is designed for the face at night. If you have oily, acne-prone skin, the lotion or CeraVe Acne Control Gel is usually more comfortable.
Which night cream is best in Pakistan?
A good night cream keeps your skin comfortable until morning. Medicube Collagen Jelly Cream gives a plump, bouncy feel, CeraVe PM Facial Moisturising Lotion is light and gentle, and Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream is richer for dry skin. You can also simply use your day moisturiser at night.
Is a moisturiser necessary in summer?
Yes. Heat, sweat and air conditioning all dehydrate the skin. In summer, switch to a lighter gel moisturiser rather than skipping the step; it keeps the barrier healthy, helps sunscreen sit evenly and can stop oily skin from overcompensating with more oil.
Are these Korean moisturisers original?
Yes. Korean Skincare Pakistan is an authorised seller of major 40+ K-beauty brands and the authorised e-commerce retailer of the official distributor of L'Oréal Group in Pakistan for CeraVe and La Roche-Posay. Every cream is batch-code verified at our Seoul warehouse and delivered in 5–7 days with Cash on Delivery.
