The correct answer is: Hydrate and balance the oil-water moisture content

Moisturizers are designed to hydrate the skin and balance the oil-water moisture content. This helps to keep the skin properly hydrated and prevent issues such as dryness or excess oiliness. Regular use of moisturizers can also help to maintain the skin's natural barrier function and improve its overall health and appearance.
