Face cream is an important final step in a complete skincare routine. After cleansing and serum, a moisturizing face cream helps provide the skin with hydration, softness, and a comfortable feel. At drpen.io, you will find face creams from Neutriherbs with different properties for those who want to focus on, for example, hydration, radiance, softness, or mature skin.
Our range of face creams is carefully selected and currently consists of two different options from Neutriherbs. The range is continuously developing, and more skincare products may be added in the future. The goal is to make it easy to combine face cream with cleansing and serum into a skincare routine that suits different skin types and needs.
Why use face cream?
Face cream is primarily used to moisturize the skin and complete the skincare routine. After cleansing and serum, a face cream can help preserve moisture and leave the skin soft and comfortable.
Even skin that feels oily may need hydration. The difference often lies in which type of formula and texture is best suited. A light gel cream, for example, may feel more suitable for some skin types, while others prefer a richer face cream.
Face cream from Neutriherbs
At drpen.io, you will find face creams with different focuses, so that you can choose a product based on how your skin feels and what you want to focus on in your skincare routine.
4D Hyaluronic Acid Gel Moisturizer – light hydration
4D Hyaluronic Acid Gel Moisturizer is a good option for those who prefer a lighter gel-based face cream focused on hydration. The formula contains several forms of hyaluronic acid and works well as the final step after serum.
The lighter texture makes the gel cream especially interesting when you want to hydrate the skin without an overly rich feel. It can be used both morning and evening as part of the daily skincare routine.
Pro Collagen Cream – for a more anti-age-focused routine
For those who want a richer skincare routine focused on mature skin, there is Pro Collagen Cream. The cream contains, among other things, collagen, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, and is well suited when hydration, softness, and elasticity are central.
Pro Collagen Cream can be combined with a serum with a similar focus or used after a hydrating serum to complete the routine.
What is the difference between gel cream and face cream?
Both gel cream and traditional face cream are used to moisturize the skin, but the texture and feel on the skin may differ.
- Gel cream: usually has a lighter texture and suits those who prefer a fresh and less rich feel on the skin.
- Cream: often has a richer texture and may be suitable when the skin feels drier or when you prefer more enveloping skincare.
Which option is best therefore depends not only on skin type but also on personal preference, season, and how the skin feels at the moment.
Which face cream should I choose?
First and foremost, base your choice on the skin’s current needs. There is no face cream that is automatically best for everyone, and the skin may also need different products during different periods.
Face cream for dry and dehydrated skin
If the skin often feels dry or tight, hydration is a natural priority. Products with hyaluronic acid fit well into a skincare routine focused on adding and preserving moisture.
4D Hyaluronic Acid Gel Moisturizer may therefore be an option for those who want to combine hydration with a lighter texture.
Face cream for mature skin
For mature skin, the focus is often on hydration, softness, elasticity, and fine lines. A routine with collagen and peptides may then be an option.
Pro Collagen Cream is particularly well suited to such a routine and can be combined with Collagen + Peptides Serum if you want to use both a serum and a face cream with the same overall focus.
Face cream for combination or oily skin
Oily and combination skin also needs hydration. For those who do not like the feel of a richer cream, a lighter gel cream may be an alternative.
The most important thing is to choose a product that feels comfortable on the skin and works together with the rest of the skincare routine.
When should you apply face cream?
Face cream is normally used after cleansing and serum. It works as the final moisturizing step in the skincare routine.
A simple basic routine may therefore look like this:
- Cleanse the skin.
- Apply serum.
- Apply face cream.
- Use sunscreen as the final step in the morning.
If you want to adapt the routine to a specific skin need, you can first choose a serum based on, for example, hydration, radiance, or mature skin, and then finish with a suitable face cream.
Face cream in the morning
In the morning, face cream can be used after cleansing and serum to hydrate the skin before the day’s final step. Sunscreen is then applied.
If you use several skincare products, it may be beneficial to let each product absorb before applying the next, without making the routine unnecessarily complicated.
Face cream in the evening
In the evening, face cream is normally used as the final step after cleansing and serum. The evening routine can be adapted based on how the skin feels after the day and does not need to be identical to the morning routine.
If the skin feels extra dry, for example, you may prioritize a more hydrating routine, while other periods may require fewer products.
Should you use serum before face cream?
Yes, serum is usually applied before face cream. Serum generally has a lighter texture and is used to give the skincare routine a more specific focus, while the face cream then completes the routine.
For example, you can use Hyaluronic Acid Serum followed by a moisturizing face cream if you want to build a routine with a clear focus on hydration.
Can you use face cream both morning and evening?
Yes, many face creams can be used both morning and evening. However, it is not necessary to use exactly the same routine on both occasions.
In the morning, a lighter texture may be practical under sunscreen and any makeup, while some prefer a richer cream in the evening. Adapt use according to your skin and the product’s own instructions.
How much face cream should you use?
Large amounts of product are normally not needed. Start with a smaller amount and distribute it evenly over the face and, if needed, the neck. If the skin still feels dry, the amount can be adjusted.
More product does not automatically mean better results. A suitable amount that can be distributed evenly over the skin is usually a better starting point.
Face cream during different seasons
The skin’s needs can change throughout the year. Cold weather, dry indoor air, heat, and high humidity can affect how the skin feels and which type of face cream feels best.
During warmer periods, a light gel cream may feel more comfortable for some, while a richer cream may be appreciated when the skin feels drier. It is therefore perfectly fine to adapt your skincare routine to the season.
Build a complete skincare routine
Face cream is only one part of the skincare routine. For a simple basic routine, you can start with Snail All In One Cleanser, continue with a serum based on the skin’s needs, and then finish with face cream.

Face cream and microneedling
The usual skincare routine often needs to be adjusted in connection with microneedling. Immediately after a treatment, the skin is temporarily more sensitive, and this means that a face cream that works well in the daily routine is not automatically suitable to apply directly after the treatment.
Products with active or potentially irritating ingredients should be avoided until the skin has recovered. Therefore, always follow the aftercare instructions for the treatment and check that the skincare products you use are suitable during the recovery period.
