Whether a particular moisturizer will suit your skin will depend on your skin type. In general, people with dry skin should use richer moisturizers, while people with oily skin do better with lotions or serums. Moisturizers are also seasonal, with lighter moisturizers being used in the summer and heavier moisturizers being used in the winter.
