Certified organic aloe vera leads the list. Vitamins A, B3 and E condition and soften. Soluble collagen forms a smooth, moisture-holding film on the skin's surface.

What is a good aloe vera face moisturizer for mature skin?

Many people find their face gets drier with age, so pick a cream you'll be happy to use twice a day. For dry skin at any age, see the best moisturizer for older skin that feels dry.
Can you use aloe vera cream on your face at night?
Yes. Corium 21 works as a simple night cream: after you wash your face at bedtime, smooth a little over your face and neck while your skin is still slightly damp. Use the same jar in the morning, so you don't need a separate night cream.
Dermatologists suggest putting moisturizer on while skin is still damp and whenever it feels dry (AAD). A dab of Corium 21 at bedtime fits that routine, and a little goes a long way.

Choose Classic Fragrance if you enjoy a scent, or Fragrance Free if you would rather your face cream had none. Read more in fragrance free aloe vera cream.
