"Using a new moisturiser is always a task I feel ambivalent about, especially when I always gravitate toward the same textures (read: gels!). These past few weeks, though, I decided to switch it up and try the 'traditional'-looking Malin + Goetz Advanced Renewal Moisturiser ($76). While it looks like your classic hydration cocktail, I was pleased to discover that it's way more lightweight when applied to the skin. Most important, as someone with combination skin, this moisturiser doesn't leave me feeling greasy or shiny — instead, it looks dewy and fresh, and ready for makeup every single time I use it." — Alanna Kilkeary, associate editor, Makeup.com and Skincare.com
