Mindy Kaling says this hydrating Cetaphil cream is a '10/10' for dry skin — on rare sale for $11
The intensive, ultra-hydrating moisturizer quenches seriously parched skin, according to 12,000+ 5-star reviewers.
If dry skin has been plaguing you all summer, it might be time for a more intense solution before we get into the even drier days of fall and winter. Cetaphil, a dermatologist favorite, has just the solution — its Moisturizing Body Cream made for very dry skin. It's garnered more than 12,000 five-star reviews, with some shoppers saying it's even powerful enough to help with their psoriasis. Big stars like Mindy Kaling have called the moisturizer "incredible." The best part? It's on rare sale for just $11, down from $16.
Cetaphil's dry-skin savior is formulated with hydrating ingredients like sweet almond oil, vitamin E, vitamin B5, glycerin and niacinamide to help quench skin and lock in moisture.
Why is this a good deal? 💰
Big names — with access to more big-money products — adore this moisturizer (see below for Mindy Kaling's endorsement). Thanks to this sale, you can snap up a celeb favorite for just $11, a savings of nearly 30%.
Why do I need this? 🤔
As the temperatures drop, there are so many factors that can wreak havoc on our skin. Drier, cooler weather, indoor heaters and hot showers can all leave skin so parched and flaky that normal moisturizers might not be able to restore lasting hydration.
This Cetaphil Moisturizing Body Cream, however, is made specifically to pack that extra punch. It's formulated with ultra-hydrating ingredients including sweet almond oil, vitamin E, vitamin B5, glycerin and niacinamide, which work together to bind moisture to the skin and lock it in. It's clinically proven to restore your skin's moisture barrier — the key to keeping your skin hydrated — within a week while offering up to 48 hours of hydration.
Last year, actress and producer Mindy Kaling posted an image of the cream to her Instagram stories, captioning it, "Summer shorts season brought to you by this incredible classic body cream 10/10 no notes."
The formula is hypoallergenic and free of fragrances, sulfides and parabens to help prevent any reactions, which is good news for sensitive-skin types. Testing by the folks at Cetaphil also showed that this body cream defends against five signs of skin sensitivity.
What reviewers say 💬
In case there are any doubts that this moisturizer should be your new go-to, shoppers are also loving it — to the tune of over 12,000 five-star reviews.
Pros 👍
"This is at least an 11 [on a scale of 1 to 10]," one reviewer gushed. "This is perfect for sensitive skin. No smell, goes on great, works great on rashy skin like mine, and is a wonder to have. I buy the multipacks since I know I will use it all. If you have sensitive and dry skin and are bothered with occasional rashes, this is the stuff for you. My dermatologist is the one who recommended it. Great advice."
"Great for sensitive skin," agreed another fan. "I have extremely sensitive skin, and this has never bothered my skin. It goes on smooth and silky but doesn’t feel heavy. It has no smell, which is great, because fragrance sometimes bothers my skin. The jar is huge so it will last you a long time and it isn't expensive."
For some shoppers, this cream has helped reduce the intense dry patches caused by psoriasis. "Bought this cream at the suggestion of my dermatologist," said a user. "It works really well to moisturize my skin where my psoriasis is occurring."
One reviewer said that after being diagnosed with both psoriasis and eczema, their derm recommended this cream. "It has done wonders on my body and also my face," they said. "I put this one on at night ... and was amazed at how moisturizing it was to my face."
Cons 👎
Speaking of using this on your face, a reviewer has a warning: "Will look greasy if you put it on your face, so I only use it on my super-dry patches," noted one shopper. (Keep in mind, this is meant to be used as a body cream!)
Another customer added, "The lotion leaves me sticky. I am not happy about that part, but it does work, so I guess I'll keep using it."
More than 12,000 five-star reviewers rave about how this moisturizer has rejuvenated their previously dry skin, with some calling it a "miracle in a bottle."
