Facial moisturizing
creams

If you had to choose just one product for your facial care, most people would choose face cream. Statistics and our experience of more than a decade of observing behaviors and routines speak for themselves. According to the National Association of Perfumery and Cosmetics (Stanpa), in its report "X-ray of the Cosmetics and Perfume Sector in Spain-2024," skincare represents one of the areas with the highest investment, reaching €3.5 billion, representing a 6% growth compared to the previous year. Facial skincare and skincare routines are primarily responsible for the increase, with a 7.2% increase. In short: everyone wants their cream.

It's a complete cosmetic product applied day and/or night to keep facial skin, the most exposed to weather, pollution, and the sun, looking healthy, supple, and fresh. Although sometimes referred to as a moisturizer, this product offers more benefits: it nourishes, protects, can help alleviate dark spots, improves firmness, improves texture and tone, and soothes sensitive skin.

The search for the perfect face cream is like finding the perfect pair of jeans or the perfect white T-shirt: a major undertaking. Dehydrated skin needs ingredients like hyaluronic acid; mature skin needs a holistic skincare product like Goop's All in One; sensitive skin needs any of the ones Pai Skincare offers. There's a cream (or several) for you.

Look in the mirror, touch your skin: What's it like at this point in your life? Skin changes, and we don't need the same skin in winter as in summer, in Madrid as in Barcelona. What do you see? Does it need radiance, elasticity, tone? Do you see a lack of firmness, expression lines? Each answer corresponds to a cream.

Cosmetics can be a maze of ingredients, scents, textures, and benefits. We'll help you find the perfect cream for this particular moment in your life. If you're looking for radiance in your skin, choose one that contains vitamin C. If you have dry skin or live in a dry city, you'll need nourishment, like the kind Prescription Edelweiss Cream provides. If you have oily skin or live in a humid area, you'll want something lighter, like Huxley's creams. If you spend time in the sun, you'll want one that has built-in sunscreen like Aime's Daily SPF 50 or Pai Skincare's British Summertime Glow. You also have to consider what sensations you're looking for. Do you prefer light, rich textures? With or without fragrance? If you have mature skin and like a scent, choose Rassa's Heaven Cream line. The creams you find at Laconicum are packed with innovation and creativity; some contain ingredients that are at the forefront of the cosmetic conversation, such as NAD, exosomes, or peptides.

You'll know when you see signs of hyperpigmentation appear, or even when you want to prevent it, especially after summer or during hormonal changes. Facial creams for dark spots are applied once or twice a day, depending on the active ingredient. Acid treatments, such as glycolic acid (Natura Bisse's Essential Shock Intense Retinol), are reserved for the night, while other antioxidants such as niacinamide and vitamin C, contained in Natura Bisse's C+C Vitamin C, Rassa's Restoring Cream, or Pai Skincare's The Anthemis, can be used during the day, always with SPF 50 sunscreen.
