How to Choose the Right Double Bay Moisturiser for Your Skin

How to Choose the Right Double Bay Moisturiser for Your Skin

There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all moisturiser—especially not at Double Bay Cosmeceuticals, where each formula is designed with intentionality, skin respect, and performance in mind. Whether you're dealing with breakouts, dehydration, pigment shifts or sensitivity, this guide will help you understand which moisturiser meets you exactly where your skin is at.

Let’s explore the full wardrobe of Double Bay moisturisers—each with its own personality, texture, and skin affinity.


Tremella Lightweight Lotion

For Oily Skin, Summer Skin, Hormonal Skin

This ultra-light, breathable lotion is our go-to for clearer-looking skin on oilier days. With tremella extract and soothing actives, it helps calm the look of redness, reduce visible blackheads, and fade the appearance of dark spots—without weighing the skin down. It’s especially loved 10 days before your menstrual cycle or mixed with your richer moisturiser for a more balanced finish.

Skin type: Oily, Combination
Texture: Weightless lotion
Use when: Skin feels greasy, humid weather, PMS breakouts


Trehalose Water Cream

The Hydration All-Rounder

When in doubt, reach for this. Trehalose Water Cream is our universal hydrator—designed for any skin, every day. With its cushiony feel and intelligent hydration system, it smooths, plumps, and visibly softens the look of fine lines. Richer than Tremella Lotion, but still fast-absorbing, this is your hydration essential—rain, shine, dry, or tired.

Skin type: All skin types
Texture: Cream-gel hybrid
Use when: You want bouncy, dewy, radiant skin that feels good and stays calm


Ubiquinone + LicoriBright Cream

For Pigment, Wrinkles & Stubborn Dullness

This is your richer, pigment-targeting moisturiser for evenings or when your skin feels weathered, tired, or marked. With powerful antioxidants and barrier-strengthening ingredients, it helps reduce the appearance of discolouration, pigmentation, and wrinkles—particularly for those navigating hormonal shifts, skin stress, or visible fatigue.

Skin type: Normal, Dry, Mature
Texture: Velvety-rich cream
Use when: You want to even your tone, soften fine lines, and restore a uniform glow


Hero Glass Skin Lifting Moisturiser

Your Skin, But Baby-Level Radiant

This is our most transformative anti-wrinkle cream—but don’t let the silky finish fool you. Fast-absorbing and ultra-refining, it’s designed to lift, soften, and give the appearance of skin that glows from within. It gives a baby-smooth, translucent finish—truly a glass skin effect. However, this one is not suitable for oily or breakout-prone skin.

Skin type: Normal to Dry, Ageing
Texture: Lightweight, but firming
Use when: You want to look like you’ve slept 10 hours, drank 2 litres of water, and just came back from a facial


Amino + BetaGlucan Lightweight Lotion

When Your Skin Needs Emergency Repair

If your skin has reacted to something—whether it's over-exfoliation, windburn, or a mystery rash—this is your first responder. Our strongest repair moisturiser, this formula works best when paired with the Eclipta Serum to calm, soothe, and replenish a disrupted barrier. Think: less sting, more comfort, faster recovery.

Skin type: Sensitised, reactive, post-procedure
Texture: Creamy, comforting
Use when: Skin says “help,” and you want to reset and rebuild


Persea Moisturiser

For Oily, Mature Skin That Still Wants a Glow

Persea is the answer to the “I want something lightweight but I’m not 25 anymore” dilemma. It’s a balancing-meets-brightening lotion designed for oily, ageing skin that needs clarity without congestion. Perfect under makeup or as a summer staple, Persea helps to subtly refine and brighten with continued use.

Skin type: Oily, Mature
Texture: Light cream
Use when: You want a radiant-but-matte finish and support for hormonal pigment or roughness


Blacred Lotion

The Bridge Between Lightweight and Repair

If Tremella is too light and Amino is too rich—Blacred is your middle ground. Designed for more mature or stressed skin, it combines calming actives with gentle hydration, making it ideal for those transitioning between seasons, routines, or skin moods. It’s the kind of formula that makes your skin feel listened to.

Skin type: Normal, Dry, Stressed, Mature
Texture: Cream-lotion hybrid
Use when: You want visible comfort, calm, and hydration—without going full recovery mode


Final Word

Choosing a moisturiser shouldn’t feel overwhelming—it should feel intuitive. At Double Bay, we design our moisturisers to work in harmony with the rhythm of your skin, your lifestyle, and your cycle. Your skin isn’t the same every day—your moisturiser shouldn’t be either.

If you’re still unsure, start with Trehalose Water Cream as your base. Then layer in or swap based on what your skin is whispering.

Because the best skincare isn’t just about what you apply—it’s about what you understand.
