A rich, soufflé-like face cream that leaves skin soft and hydrated.

A comforting daily moisturizer for dry or dull-looking skin, designed to complement your retinol or vitamin C routine.

Hydrates deeply without feeling greasy
Supports skin barrier and softens the look of fine lines
Fragrance-free hydration that layers well with retinol or vitamin C

Why We Chose It

We chose Protocol’s Renewing Moisturizer as a richer option for skin that needs lasting hydration. Its whipped texture makes daily application enjoyable, while hyaluronic acid and niacinamide help keep skin soft and comfortable.

It also fits naturally alongside Protocol’s serums, giving a treatment-focused routine a dependable moisturizing step. Use it after the Vitamin C Superserum or Enzyme-Active Retinol Serum, or on its own simply after cleansing.

Who It Suits

A good fit for normal, dry, or combination skin, especially when your face feels tight or needs more moisture. It also suits anyone looking for a fragrance-free cream to follow vitamin C or retinal. Men with very oily skin may prefer a lighter moisturizer.

Protocol Renewing Moisturizer FAQs

What do hyaluronic acid and niacinamide do for skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps retain moisture, giving skin a softer, plumper appearance. Niacinamide supports the skin barrier, helping skin hold onto that moisture. Protocol combines 2% hyaluronic acid and 5% niacinamide with glycerin and aloe in this cream to create a softening and hydrating moisturizer.

Can I use it with Protocol’s vitamin C and retinal serums?

Yes. Apply it after Vitamin C Superserum in the morning or Enzyme-Active Retinol Serum in the evening. It provides hydration and barrier support alongside your treatment step. Finish your morning routine with sunscreen, and introduce new actives gradually as your skin tolerates them.

Does Protocol Renewing Moisturizer help with fine lines?

Hydration can soften the appearance of fine lines caused by dryness, helping skin look smoother and fuller. This is a moisturizing approach to visible skin aging, rather than a replacement for a targeted "anti-aging" treatment such as retinal.

Is Protocol Renewing Moisturizer fragrance-free?

Yes. It is formulated without added fragrance or essential oils. Protocol notes that it may have a faint rosemary scent from rosemary leaf extract, which is included as an antioxidant.

Can I use the Renewing Moisturizer morning and night?

Yes. After cleansing and applying serum (if applicable), smooth a thin layer over your face and neck. Use morning and evening according to how much moisture your skin needs, and follow with sunscreen during the day.
