Start with how it feels
Lotions often feel lighter, while creams are often richer. The actual feel depends on the formula, so the label alone cannot tell you everything. Choose something you enjoy using.
Think about your routine
A lightweight lotion may be convenient before getting dressed. A richer cream can fit a slower evening ritual. Climate, clothing, and personal preference all influence which texture you reach for.
Read beyond the texture
Check for ingredients you already know do not agree with your skin. If a cream includes active ingredients such as retinol, follow its specific instructions instead of treating it like a plain moisturizer.
