The main differences between lotions and creams are their ingredients, texture, efficacy and application.
1. Ingredients: The moisture content of the lotion is high, generally 80%, while the moisture content of the cream is low, generally 20%. The oil in the lotion forms a sealing film on the surface of the skin, preventing the skin from losing moisture too quickly. Creams are richer in nutrients and higher in oil.
2. Texture: The texture of the lotion is light and easy to be absorbed, suitable for oily, mixed and sensitive skin. The texture of the cream is thicker and more moisturizing, suitable for dry, combination and neutral skin.
3. Efficacy: The lotion mainly plays a moisturizing role, which can build a layer of hydrated sebum film for the skin to prevent water loss. Face cream mainly plays the role of moisturizing, repairing, anti-wrinkle, firming and so on.
4. Application: The lotion is suitable for spring and summer, when the skin metabolism is relatively strong. Face cream is suitable for autumn and winter, when the climate is dry.
5. How to use: Lotion and cream are not recommended to be used together, so it is important to choose the cream that suits you.
