Aesop
Mandarin Facial Hydrating Cream
A light daily moisturiser from Aesop. Works for normal, combination, or oily skin — especially in cooler weather.
$56
This is a light, citrus-scented face cream that absorbs quickly. Aesop designed it for normal and combination skin, though people with oily skin often use it in fall and winter when their skin isn't as greasy.
You use about half a teaspoon morning and evening after cleansing. It's vegan, if that matters to the person you're buying for.
The size listed varies slightly depending on where you look — Aesop says 2.1 oz, Nordstrom says 2 oz. Either way, it's a standard tube that'll last a few months with daily use.
Why it works
- Light texture — absorbs fast, doesn't sit on your skin.
- Clear directions on how much to use and when.
- Vegan formula, easier if someone avoids animal-derived ingredients.
Who it's for
- Someone with a simple skincare routine who wants a solid moisturiser.
- A person with combination or oily skin looking for something lighter.
What to know
- Best for normal, combination, or oily skin in cooler months.
- Size differs slightly across retailers — 2 to 2.1 oz depending on listing.
