Super affordable, and one of the best options for dry skin, especially considering the price. Can be used on face and body (i use it myself).
Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream for Dry to Very Dry Skin, Unscented, 20 fl oz
Another affordable option, for face and body.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream | Body and Face | 19 Oz
Perfect option for year-round use, it absorbs quickly and provides long-lasting comfort.
Isntree - Hyaluronic Acid Moist Cream
While the CeraVe cream gets a lot of attention, the lotion is a lightweight, non-greasy option that still contains the brand's key ceramides and hyaluronic acid. It's perfect for those who want a less heavy feel.
CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Face & Body Lotion for Normal to Dry Skin
Another affordable option, i would recommend for those who prefer a lighter consistency, but still moisturizing.
Vanicream Daily Facial Moisturizer, 3 fl oz
For those who prefer a creamy texture that provides comfort and nourishment. I warn you that this cream has a herbal scent that can irritate sensitive skin and may displease those who are sensitive to strong scents.
Weleda Skin Food Ultra-Rich Body Cream 2.5 oz
Great value for money here, it gives comfort day and night.
I would recommend this one for those who prefer lighter creams during the day, not the best night cream for dry skin.
Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Gel Cream, 1.7 fl. oz
Often called a "magic cream" by professionals, this multi-purpose balm is a lifesaver for extremely dry, chapped, and irritated skin. It can be used as a spot treatment for dry patches or as an overnight mask to repair the skin.
