Winter has a way of putting your skin through the wringer. Between heaters running around the clock, icy winds outdoors and the temptation of long, steaming-hot showers, our skin is constantly shifting between extreme environments.
While those little winter comforts feel amazing, they can leave your complexion feeling tight, dehydrated and in need of a little extra care.
If your usual moisturiser suddenly isn't cutting it, you're not imagining things.
As the seasons change, so do your skin's needs, making winter the perfect time to reassess your routine.
Rather than simply layering on more product, choosing a moisturiser that delivers long-lasting hydration while helping to support your skin barrier can make all the difference.
That's where the INNISFREE Green Tea range comes in. Their hydrating, plumping and nourishing moisturisers might just be your new dry skin saviour.
Innisfree Green Tea Moisturisers
Made with the brand's signature Beauty Green Tea™, selected from more than 3,300 green tea varieties, these moisturisers are packed with amino acids to deliver lasting hydration and support a healthy-looking skin barrier.
It's one of my go-to recommendations for anyone looking for an affordable moisturiser that genuinely delivers. The formulas are effective, reliable and, most importantly, there's an option for almost every skin type.
The newest addition to the lineup is the Green Tea Panthenol Gel-Cream, which is perfect for oily and combination skin - but I'll get to that in a moment.
First, let's break down the range and find out which moisturiser is the best fit for your skin.

My INNISFREE Green Tea Panthenol Gel Cream Review:
For oilier skin types, the Green Tea Panthenol Gel-Cream strikes the perfect balance between hydration and a weightless finish. The gel-cream texture absorbs effortlessly into the skin, delivering lasting moisture without any heaviness. What I love most is the immediate cooling effect on application; it instantly refreshes and soothes the skin. It's the kind of moisturiser you'll reach for during warmer months or whenever your skin is feeling sensitised and needs a calming boost.

My INNISFREE Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Cream review:
This was my first skincare love, the moisturiser that introduced me to skincare, and honestly, I'd still happily use it today.
It's the Goldilocks of moisturisers: not too rich, not too light, but just right. The lightweight cream texture melts into the skin, absorbs quickly and leaves my complexion feeling hydrated, soft and supple without ever feeling heavy.
It also layers beautifully with active ingredients, making it an easy addition to almost any routine. If I had to recommend one all-rounder, this would be it. It's especially great for normal, oily and combination skin types looking for lightweight, long-lasting hydration.
INNISFREE Green Tea Seed Hyaluronic Cream reviews from Adore Beauty customers:
"Leaves skin soft and glowy, no negative reaction on my dry sensitive skin. Would be incredible if it came in a bigger size."
"This brought a sense of relief to my skin when it was feeling irritated and reactive. The texture is light but still nourishing enough to leave my face feeling protected. I noticed a more even, settled look after consistent use."

- Designed as the final step in your skincare routine, it locks in moisture and leaves skin feeling hydrated, supple and protected from morning through to night.
My INNISFREE Green Tea Ceramide Cream review:
This is exactly what my skin needed this winter. The richer cream texture feels incredibly nourishing, yet it sinks into the skin beautifully without feeling heavy. The added ceramides have worked wonders for the tightness and dryness I've been experiencing over the colder months, leaving my skin feeling comfortable, soft and well-moisturised all day.
I'd especially recommend this to anyone with dry or dehydrated skin, or anyone whose complexion is feeling the effects of winter.
INNISFREE Green Tea Ceramide Cream reviews from Adore Beauty customers:
"When my skin feels sensitive or overworked, this instantly makes it feel more comfortable. It deeply hydrates without clogging my pores and keeps flaky areas smoother. My skin barrier feels healthier whenever I use it regularly."
"First time user of this mousteriser. I was looking for something that would be hydrating and didn't have any big active ingredients so I could use it over tretinoin. I'm using it at night and really love the texture."
