Quick question about day cream & moisturiser

[ButterfliesandMoths]

What's the difference between day cream & moisturiser. Thank you.

There isn't one.

A "day cream" is a moisturiser that's suitable for use during the day, rather than a "night cream" - so less thick, more easily absorbed, so you don't look greasy & make up doesn't slide off; but it will be less good at moisturising.

A day cream these days also probably has a SPF in it.

Day cream and night cream are both moisturisers. Night cream is usually heavier and thicker, whereas dah cream absorbs faster to wear under make up etc

I have day & night cream in the same range and the night cream is much thicker, I couldn't use it in the day as my skin would be too greasy - although I do use it if I'm going out in terrible windy conditions cos it helps stop skin chapping.
