Choosing the right moisturiser can feel like a full-time job, especially when your skin wants hydration but not the greasy aftermath. I recently tested two popular oil-free options – Derma Co and Dr Sheth’s daily moisturisers – to find out which one actually works best for regular use. In today’s edition of HZ Tried and Tested, find out which one is better for regular use.
I used both moisturisers for over a week each, morning and evening. I have combination skin that leans oily by the end of the day, so my main concerns were hydration without the heavy feeling and avoiding random breakouts.
While both are lightweight and oil-free, I did notice a difference in how my skin felt throughout the day. One gave me a smooth, balanced finish, while the other left me wanting a little more moisture.
This one is packed with hyaluronic acid, ceramides, and multivitamins. It feels like a basic but solid everyday moisturiser. The texture is light, spreads easily, and gets absorbed super quick. My skin felt hydrated without the shine, and even after a long work day, it didn’t look oily.
This moisturiser has a more targeted formula. It includes a 1% Vitamin C complex for brightening, ceramide complex for barrier repair and ashwagandha extract to calm the skin. It feels nourishing and slightly richer than Derma Co, but still oil-free. I did feel a glow after using this for a few days, but on some days, I needed to layer a little more to feel hydrated enough.
₹349 for 100g – you get a generous amount which lasts quite long, making it good value for money.
₹349 for 50g – it’s on the higher side when you look at the quantity, but it has more actives ingredients like Vitamin C and ashwagandha.
You can find it on Derma Co’s official website, Amazon, Nykaa, and even Flipkart. It’s almost always on discount somewhere.
Available on Dr Sheth’s own website, as well as Nykaa and Amazon. Offers and combos are sometimes better on the official site.

If you’re looking for an everyday moisturiser that does the job without any drama, Derma Co wins. It hydrates well, controls oil, and gives your skin a fresh, balanced feel. It’s also budget-friendly and suitable for all skin types. Dr Sheth’s is a great pick if you’re after brightening and want added skincare benefits, but for daily, regular use – Derma Co is just easier to stick to.
I hope this HZ Tried and Tested review will help you make a well-informed purchase. Stay tuned for more such reviews.
