7 Expensive Moisturizers Completely Worth the Splurge

While it’s true that there are plenty of affordable moisturizers at the drugstore that can get the job done, there are some luxe creams that really are worthy of their hefty price tag. Often, these expensive moisturizers are formulated with hard-to-find ingredients and housed in fancy packaging that can drive up the cost. All of these things, however, can take moisturizing from just another item on your to-do list to an indulgent, spa-like experience. If you’re looking for a splurge that you’ll use daily, check out seven of our favorite expensive-but-worth-it moisturizers below.

YSL Beauty Or Rouge Crème Essentielle Anti-Aging Cream

The YSL Beauty Or Rouge line is special thanks to its saffron pistil ingredients that work to renew the skin with each use. The Or Rouge Crème Essentielle Anti-Aging Cream is a luxurious facial moisturizer (it retails for $400!) that delivers hydration in a lightweight texture, boosts radiance and helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in as little as four weeks.

Lancôme Absolue Soft Cream

For a soft, whipped moisturizer that you’ll wish you could cover yourself in head to toe, try the Absolue Revitalizing Cream, which retails for $150 and $260, depending on size. This regenerating, brightening moisturizer works to revitalize the skin with grand rose extracts and shea butter, and visibly plumps with hydration. You can also pick up a refill of this formula, which retails for $220, in order to keep reusing the eye-catching gold jar.
