Best body lotion for very dry skin

*Est. $7.50/6.8 oz. Compare Prices

Nivea Crème is marketed for all-over skin moisture, but most users say it works best for very dry skin, including rough patches, elbows, knees and feet. It is a thick, emollient cream, but consumers say that it absorbs… quickly and works best when used at night rather than after a shower (it's so thick that it doesn't blend well with water). Reviewers claim that "a little goes a long way" and that a single tub of this cream lasts for months.

Top-rated lightweight lotion

Olay Age Transform Body Creme Serum

*Est. $9/10.1 oz. Compare Prices

It is not as thick and rich as Nivea Crème, but experts say that Olay Age Transform Body Crème Serum is good for all skin types as a daily moisturizer. Reviewers say it leaves the skin soft but not greasy. Paula Begoun… alls it a "top choice for a state-of-the-art body moisturizer at the drugstore," because it contains an impressive amount of antioxidants, niaciniamide and water-binding agents that help the skin to retain moisture.
