Yes, there is a difference between a the two; moisturizing and hydration. Both are equally important for maintaining healthy, nourished skin. They are actually two different things, basically water vs. oil.
Hydration = water
Moisture = oil.
Skin Moisturizing
What moisturizers do? Moisturizer creates a seal on the exterior skin surface to lock in moisture and prevents water from evaporating from the skin. They provide hydration by treating dry skin and adding moisture into your skin by preventing water loss and helps the skin to rehydrate.
No matter what skin type you have or skin concerns. The important thing is finding the correct type of moisturizer for your skin type. Moisture can be thought of as the “oils.” It’s a myth, you don’t need moisturizer if you have oily skin. The truth is your skin needs to have of some moisture, to pump out extra oils to try and replenish itself. The correct moisturizing products for your skin type can help dry, flakiness and dullness. Combination or oily skin types can be more balanced. Moisturized skin looks nourished, smooth, bouncy and glowing.
Find a good nourishing moisturizer correct for your skin type and correct your skin concerns; aging, acne, fine lines/wrinkles, oily skin, sensitive/reactive skin.

Lack of water through water loss can cause fine lines and wrinkles.
