Deep Hydration, Lasting Radiance: The Moisturiser Guide for Every Skin Type

Hydration is the cornerstone of healthy, youthful skin. No matter your age, skin type, or routine, your complexion relies on one thing above all else—moisture balance. When your skin is properly hydrated, it looks smoother, plumper, and more radiant. When it’s not, fine lines become more visible, the surface appears dull, and the skin barrier weakens, making it more sensitive to irritation and environmental stress.

At Pt78 Skin and Body, we believe hydration should never be complicated. With summer on the horizon and humidity on the rise, this is the perfect time to reassess your moisturiser and find one that supports your skin’s natural defences while keeping it supple and luminous.

Today, we’re spotlighting two standout formulas that deliver deep hydration and visible anti-ageing benefits—the Pt78 Moisture+ Hydrating Moisturiser and the SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2.

Why Moisturising Is More Than Just Hydration

Moisturising is not just about adding water to the skin; it’s about sealing it in and preventing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). A good moisturiser strengthens the lipid barrier, supports the skin’s microbiome, and restores balance after cleansing and exfoliation. The right blend of humectants, emollients, and occlusives not only keeps your skin hydrated but also nourishes it deeply for a radiant, resilient finish.

Hydrated skin also responds better to active ingredients like Vitamin C, retinol, and peptides. Without enough moisture, even the most potent serums can’t perform at their best. That’s why moisturiser is a non-negotiable final step in any routine—it locks in everything beneath it.

Pt78 Moisture+: Lightweight Nourishment, Naturally

Formulated right here in Australia, the Pt78 Moisture+ Hydrating Moisturiser is proof that natural skincare can deliver professional results. Vegan, cruelty-free, and powered by plant-based actives, this moisturiser combines nourishing oils with botanical extracts that hydrate, protect, and restore.

The formula includes Macadamia and Jojoba Oils for deep, lasting moisture, while Quandong and Kakadu Plum Extracts provide antioxidant protection and help promote collagen synthesis. These native Australian ingredients are rich in Vitamin C and phytonutrients that help defend against environmental damage and brighten the complexion.

The texture of Pt78 Moisture+ is lightweight and fast-absorbing, making it ideal for both morning and evening use. It leaves the skin soft and balanced without feeling heavy or greasy—a perfect option for those who prefer a natural finish or wear makeup during the day.

SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2: Rebuilding the Skin Barrier

For those seeking a more intensive, anti-ageing solution, SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 offers clinically proven barrier repair and deep hydration. This rich, velvety cream restores the skin’s essential lipids—ceramides, cholesterol, and fatty acids—in their optimal 2:4:2 ratio to strengthen the skin’s natural protective layer.

As we age, lipid production declines, leading to roughness, dullness, and increased sensitivity. Triple Lipid Restore addresses this directly by replenishing lost lipids, improving elasticity, and restoring smoothness. Clinical studies show significant improvements in skin texture, radiance, and overall firmness within just two weeks of use.

Despite its luxurious texture, it absorbs beautifully into the skin, making it a favourite among those with dry, mature, or compromised skin. It’s also a perfect partner to active ingredients such as retinol or exfoliating acids, helping to soothe and protect the skin barrier after potent treatments.

Choosing the Right Moisturiser for You

When selecting a moisturiser, consider both your skin type and your lifestyle.

If your skin tends to be normal to combination, you’ll love the breathable, silky finish of Pt78 Moisture+. It provides daily hydration without clogging pores and pairs beautifully with serums like Pt78 Brighten B Hyaluronic Acid + Niacinamide or SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5 Serum.

If your skin is dry, mature, or showing visible signs of ageing, SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2 delivers a richer, more replenishing experience. It supports the skin barrier and enhances firmness, making it an essential in advanced anti-ageing routines.

Both can be layered depending on your needs—use Pt78 Moisture+ during the day for lightweight comfort and Triple Lipid Restore at night for deeper recovery.

How to Build a Hydrating Routine

Start your routine with a gentle cleanser like the Pt78 Cream Cleanser or SkinCeuticals Soothing Cleanser to remove impurities without stripping natural oils. Follow with a hydrating serum such as Pt78 Brighten B or SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5, then seal everything in with your chosen moisturiser.

For daytime, finish with SkinCeuticals Ultra Facial Defense SPF 50 for broad-spectrum protection. For evening, consider applying Pt78 Refine A Retinol 0.4% before your moisturiser to boost overnight renewal.

Why Hydration Matters Even in Summer

It’s a common misconception that moisturiser is only necessary during winter. In fact, hot weather and increased sun exposure can dehydrate your skin just as much. Air conditioning, sweat, and UV damage all strip moisture from the surface, leaving skin dry and more prone to sensitivity.

Using a lightweight moisturiser like Pt78 Moisture+ keeps your hydration levels balanced without clogging pores, while rich creams like Triple Lipid Restore replenish what’s lost after sun exposure or exfoliation. Hydration is not seasonal—it’s essential all year round.

The Bottom Line

Healthy, radiant skin begins with proper hydration. Whether you prefer the clean, botanical nourishment of Pt78 Moisture+ Hydrating Moisturiser or the scientifically advanced barrier repair of SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2, both offer visible improvements in texture, smoothness, and elasticity.

Your moisturiser is the last step of your skincare ritual, but it’s also the foundation of everything that follows. Hydrate consistently, and your skin will thank you with long-term resilience, glow, and confidence.
