It's from a Mandy Moore-used brand.
As I gear up for a hot, sticky summer in New York City, I’m making the necessary swaps in my skincare routine. My musts? A lightweight moisturizer that layers well with SPF and doesn’t pill. I also need something that doesn’t make my skin look or feel greasy as the day progresses—as is often the case with face creams. That said, I still need ample hydration to keep things cool while I work through all those fun summer activities, so what is one to do? Well, I think I finally found the answer
Just in time for a hot, sticky summer, celeb-loved brand Tula gave its best-selling moisturizer a much needed upgrade for the warmer months ahead: the 24-7 Day and Night Gel Cream. The label has always been a staple in my routine even before I started working as a beauty editor, but I’ve developed a particular liking for it since trying more of its products. Not to mention, A-listers like Jenna Dewan, Mandy Moore, and Shawn Johnson love it thanks to its focus on probiotics, superfood extracts, and balancing our microbiomes.

With my combination skin that tends to be more dry in my cheeks and oily in my T-zone, Tula moisturizers have long been a favorite of mine because they give me hydration where I need it most and oil control in targeted areas. My go-to is normally the Hydrating Day and Night Cream, but for summer, it’s a bit too heavy in the heat, as it gets pretty sweaty in the subway stations and even on the highest rooftops.
But, good thing Tula dropped a summery version of its best-selling day and night moisturizer that I’ve already tested during humid Big Apple adventures. It’s the same moisturizing ingredients my skin knows and loves but with a bouncy, lighter texture that feels like a glass of water splashing onto your skin. It’s oh-so refreshing and ultra hydrating, without leaving heavy or greasy residue.
The brand notes the gel cream to have a “weightless formula clinically proven to not clog pores,” and this is what makes it absolutely perfect for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. Having a moisturizer like this for the summer, even if you do not have those skin types is helpful, though, given how much more SPF we use and how much time spent in the heat, all things that can, in fact, clog pores.
The 24-7 Weightless Gel Cream is filled with niacinamide, skincare’s wonder ingredient for controlling oil, smoothing texture, and helping skin stay hydrated. Plus, it has a few anti-aging benefits, too. It’s full of peptides to help skin by showing off its bouncy and healthy appearance. Lastly, it has apple and watermelon fruit extracts for an extra surge of hydration.
If you’ve long been on the search for your perfect summer moisturizer or contemplating the switch based on how your skin reacts to heat and SPF, look no further. Your skin will thank you when using this Tula staple, not to mention you’ll be able to tell everyone you’re using the cream of the summer. Mark my words.
