Our ultimate guide for finding which plastic-free Ethique face moisturiser or serum is best for you
Quench face moisturiser
Lightweight face moisturiser for all skin types
What it’s like to use: Quench is a lightweight, non-greasy moisturiser that’s suitable for all skin types and perfect for everyday use. Quench can be used as a night cream, or in the morning as your daily moisturiser under make-up or SPF. Allow a few minutes for the product to soak in before make-up or SPF application. One tube is equivalent to three bottles of liquid face moisturiser so a little goes a long way and it’s best to start off using less than you think you’ll need.
Moisturisers are emulsions of water and oil which make them more moisturising than a typical serum on its own - perfect for dehydrated and dry skin. Quench is great for all skin types including oily skin because it contains ingredients such as niacinamide to help balance oil production and humectants that draw moisture to skin without the need for oils.

Ingredient spotlight: Niacinamide, our hero ingredient, helps to balance oil production and reduce the appearance of blemishes to promote an even skin tone and healthy-looking complexion. The formula is also infused with natural humectants such as hyaluronic acid, glycerine and vitamin B5, helping to draw moisture to your skin for comfortable all-day wearability, without adding extra oils and shine. Jojoba features to promote smooth, healthy and hydrated skin.
The Perfector face moisturiser
Solid face cream for balanced, dehydrated and dry skin
What it’s like to use: The Perfector is super creamy in texture and when applied to skin, it melts into a cream. The Perfector can be used in the evening as a night cream, or in the morning under SPF and/or makeup. If the latter, allow about ten minutes for the product to really soak in before makeup application.
Because moisturisers are emulsions of water and oil, this makes them more moisturising than a typical serum on its own and perfect for dehydrated and dry skin. The Perfector is formulated to soften and hydrate the top layers of skin with hydrating and occluding ingredients, which hydrated the skins surfance, but then prevents transepidermal water loss by forming a film over the surface of the skin. Long story short, The Perfector is dehydrated and dry skin’s best friend!
Ingredient spotlight: Kokum butter, renowned for its concentration of essential fatty acids and protective barrier-forming abilities, is incorporated with nourishing jojoba and hydrating hyaluronic acid to nourish even the driest skin.
