Consider skin type: with a tendency to dryness, choose creams with oils in the composition.
Try to use products from the same line: day creams, night creams, around the eyes, plus serum and mask. They will complement each other.
Pay attention to the presence of SPF in day creams. If it is not provided, you must use sunscreen. For example, sunscreen over makeup.
