What It Is
The Hydrating Face Moisturizer is a lightweight daily moisturizer that works beautifully on all skin types — including dry, sensitive, and acne-prone skin. It absorbs quickly, feels comfortable all day, and layers seamlessly over your serums without pilling or heaviness.
This is the moisturizer I use every single day. It's the kind of simple, effective product I built Sunlit around — nothing you don't need, everything your skin actually wants.
Formulated with Hyaluronic Acid and Saccharide Isomerate to attract and hold moisture, Niacinamide to help even skin tone and support barrier health, Aloe and Chamomile to calm and soothe, and Vitamin C (Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate) plus Vitamin E for antioxidant protection.
- Lightweight, fast-absorbing — no greasy residue
- Gentle enough for sensitive and acne-prone skin
- Works on all skin types, especially dry skin
- Hydration that holds throughout the day
- Layers perfectly over serums, under SPF
- A little goes a long way — a dime-sized amount covers your whole face

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this moisturizer if I already have oily skin? +
Yes — this formula was designed with all skin types in mind, including oily and combination skin. The Squalane base absorbs quickly without adding shine, and Niacinamide actually helps support balanced-looking skin over time. Start with one pump and see how your skin responds.
Do I really need to use a separate serum if I'm using this moisturizer? +
Great question. Serums and moisturizers do different jobs. Serums deliver concentrated active ingredients deep into the skin. Moisturizers create a protective layer that seals everything in and keeps skin hydrated. They work best together — that's why we recommend applying your Vitamin C serum first, then layering this on top.
Can I use this at night too? +
This formula is designed for daytime use — it layers beautifully under SPF and keeps your skin protected throughout the day. At night, we recommend the Hyaluronic Acid Pro-Repair Serum as your hydration step, paired with the Wrinkle Recovery Serum for deeper overnight renewal.
How long will one jar last? +
With one pump per morning application, a single bottle lasts approximately two months with daily use. That's why our subscriptions are set up on a 6-week or 8-week cycle — so you're never scrambling when you run out.
Will this break me out? +
The formula is lightweight and designed to be non-comedogenic. Squalane, one of the main hydrating ingredients, is actually well-known for not clogging pores. That said, everyone's skin is different — if you have very sensitive or acne-prone skin, we recommend a patch test first (inside the wrist or along the jawline) before applying to your full face.
What makes this different from drugstore moisturizers? +
Most drugstore moisturizers rely on a single hydrator and a lot of filler. This formula stacks multiple hydrating ingredients — Hyaluronic Acid, Saccharide Isomerate, Squalane, and Glycerin — alongside Niacinamide to strengthen your barrier and calming ingredients like Aloe and Chamomile. It's more thoughtfully built, and at $38 it's still in everyday-use territory.
