These 12 Ultra-Hydrating Lotions Will Soothe Your Dry Skin This Fall and Winter

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream

A favorite among dermatologists, CeraVe's moisturizing cream is perfect for the body and face. "It contains three essential ceramides and hyaluronic acid," says Dr. Chimento. "It smooths and restores skin while keeping it hydrated for up to 24 hours."

Products with ceramides are essential for proper skin hydration as they essentially act as the glue that holds skin cells together.

Augustinus Bader The Body Cream

Rich and decidedly luxurious, this cream doesn't just hydrate—backed by 30 years of research, the formula improves firmness and elasticity, too.

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Eczema Soothing Relief Cream

Free of fragrance and oil, this non-comedogenic cream is ideal for people with eczema-prone skin; it can be applied to your face, body, and hands. Dr. Chimento says it's an excellent option for targeting specific areas on your body. It will soothe the skin and provide relief from incessant itching.

Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion

One of the most popular lotions on the market, this lightweight and gentle cream is perfect for everyday use. Aside from being hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, the formula is also fragrance free—that's pretty notable when you consider that "products containing fragrances can irritate, sting, burn, and dry the skin," says Dr. Green.

Vanicream Moisturizing Cream

Looking for a no-frills body cream that won't disrupt your acne-prone skin? Consider this option from Vanicream. It's free of fragrances, dyes, lanolin, and parabens, making it a smart choice for people combating eczema.

Eucerin Eczema Relief Cream

This full body cream—which is clinically proven to reduce eczema flare-ups—contains colloidal oatmeal, an additive that benefits dry dermis. Oats calm the skin, as well as stimulate collagen, according to Dr. Green. "The oats bind to the skin creating a shield against irritation while locking in natural moisture," she says.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Water Gel

Formulated with hyaluronic acid, this moisturizer will bring dull skin back to life. Hyaluronic acid helps to soften and hydrate the skin by locking in moisturizer, notes Dr. Green. It also has "antioxidant properties that can help protect against free radicals and other environmental pollutants," she says.

The water gel contains ceramides and essential fatty acids that strengthen your barrier.

Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Lotion

Soothe dry patches with microdroplets of Vaseline jelly, a defining feature of this prescription-strength moisturizer. According to Amanda Doyle, a dermatologist at Russak Dermatology, that's why this formula is her go-to product for dry, irritated skin.

First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream

Its name speaks for itself—this face and body cream is ultra-repairing. The formula contains colloidal oatmeal and shea butter, two ingredients that protect the barrier and relieve itching and irritation caused by eczema, rashes, and other skin conditions.

Aquaphor Healing Ointment

This heavy-duty ointment can be used as a lip moisturizer, hand cream, foot cream, and beyond. It's a great option dry skin; the addition of glycerin prevents dryness from occurring in the first place (it actually pulls water into the dermis). Apply it to dry, cracked skin for instant relief.

Cetaphil Advanced Relief Lotion

Here's another option from Cetaphil. The shea butter formula helps restore your skin's barrier while still being a lightweight option, says Dr. Chimento. The advanced relief lotion also contains vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects the skin from oxidative stress.

"Vitamin E also has restorative properties and is able to repair the skin at its cellular level, accelerating the production of collagen and elastin," says Dr. Green.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion

As for Dr. Green's top pick for dry skin? She likes this option from Aveeno, which contains colloidal oatmeal. The fragrance-free lotion reduces inflammation and stimulates collagen production, which improves elasticity.
