- The Best Drugstore Moisturizers for Dry Skin, According to Our Editors
No matter what your skin type is, harsh winter weather can make it a challenge to keep your complexion hydrated and glowy. But if you have dry skin, it can be even more of an uphill battle. If you haven’t already, consider switching out your moisturizer for something a little more nourishing. To get one that’s up for the task of fighting cold temperatures, biting winds and dehydrating indoor heating, you don’t have to splurge. We’re rounding up our favorite moisturizers for dry skin that you can find at the drugstore right here.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
When treating dry skin, sometimes less is more. This no-frills formula may be basic, but it has everything needed to moisturize and protect dry skin, including ceramides, hyaluronic acid and glycerin. The non-greasy cream is formulated to both restore and maintain the skin barrier, as well as boost the skin’s natural levels of nourishing ceramides over time.
Vichy Aqualia Thermal Rich Cream
This rich cream contains hyaluronic acid and Vichy’s proprietary volcanic water to help hydrate skin for 48 hours and give it a more youthful glow.
Garnier Green Labs Hyalu-Melon Replumping Serum Cream
For a daytime moisturizer, we love this three-in-one product. It serves as a serum, moisturizer and sunscreen and helps hydrate and plump the appearance of fine lines thanks to its star ingredients: hyaluronic acid and watermelon extract.
L’Oréal Paris Age Perfect Rosy Tone Fragrance-Free Moisturizer
As we age, we can lose our natural rosy tone. This dullness can be exacerbated by dry skin. Target both with this moisturizer which contains imperial peony extracts and micro-exfoliating LHA for firmer, more radiant and hydrated skin.
La-Roche Posay Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
This moisturizer may feel lightweight, but don’t be fooled — it’s formulated to repair the moisture barrier so your skin stays hydrated longer. The cream contains ceramides, niacinamide and glycerin and is made without fragrance and parabens.
