Best Budget

Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Body Lotion

• Spreads nicely over the skin
• Absorbs well
• Light scent that isn’t overwhelming

• Minimal improvement in the overall appearance of skin

Key Ingredients: Cocoa butter | Skin Type: Dry skin, Dull skin | Size: 10, 20.3, 32 fl oz | SPF: None | Cruelty-Free: No

A tried and true brand, Vaseline’s Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Lotion is a fantastic drugstore moisturizer for anyone—but especially a shopper looking to get a lot of bang for their buck. It’s available in three large sizes and we found that a little goes a long way, even with daily use, the smallest container will last a while. We also love that it’s packaged in a no-mess pump bottle. Plus, the formula’s light cocoa butter scent will take you back to the tropics.

We were very impressed with the lotion’s consistency—spreads nicely over the skin and absorbs quickly without leaving anything behind. Most importantly, it leaves dry skin feeling healthy, nourished, and well-hydrated. That said, we didn’t notice a significant improvement in skin appearance after daily use.

Best Soothing

Acure 24hr Moisture Lotion

• A little goes a long way
• Doesn’t leave behind residue
• Light scent
• Easy to apply

Key Ingredients: Cocoa Butter, Colloidal Oatmeal, Aloe | Skin Type: All skin types | Size: 8 fl oz | SPF: None | Cruelty-Free: Yes

Acure’s Seriously Soothing 24-hour Moisture Lotion leaves the skin feeling hydrated and soothed even on the driest of days when the skin gets chapped. We like the thick consistency, and that, unlike a lot of thicker lotions, it doesn’t take a lot of effort to rub this formula into the skin. Its quick absorption also stood out to us, as did how efficient the lotion is, likely due to the colloidal oatmeal—you’ll be surprised by how much moisture you can get from just a little dab!

Despite its thick consistency, the lotion doesn’t leave any residue behind (no flakes, no rubbing off on clothes) and it's gentle enough to use on any skin type. However, even though our skin felt fantastic for a full day after using this lotion, we were a little disappointed to find that it didn’t leave behind a glow or change in the appearance of the skin.

We all have our own pre-bed routines to help us get ready for sleep. Maybe you do some gentle yoga, take a warm shower, or write in a gratitude journal. Another great way to wind down, according to sleep doctor Temitayo Oyegbile-Chidi, MD, PhD, is by slathering your body with magnesium body lotion. Read on to hear what she has to say about the benefits of magnesium, as well as our picks of the best magnesium body lotions.

Body Lotions You Should Avoid

Here’s why it’s important to use a non-toxic body lotion. I created this ingredients comparison between the wildly popular eos body lotion versus the Derma e body lotion. They both cost about the same $11. The eos lotion contains petroleum-based ingredients (petrolatum and mineral oil) plus a ton of fragrance (the higher up on the ingredients list the more of it the product contains). For the same price, Derma E does not include petroleum-based ingredients and a safer fragrance at the bottom of the list.

What to Look For

With so many body lotions on the market, which list countless ingredients with unpronounceable names, it's difficult to determine which components to look for—and which to stay away from.

Dr. Aya Ahram adds, "Look for a mixture of ingredients to help target moisture retention and water loss across the skin barrier: humectant ingredients—which draw in water from the air into the skin—such as glycerin and hyaluronic acid, as well as occlusives, which seal water in the skin, like petrolatum and dimethicone." She also recommends "emollients, which provide moisture to the skin, like shea butter and ceramides."

Then comes the fun stuff. Your formula might come with antioxidants. “Vitamin E, C, and green tea extract for example have a dual purpose in preventing free radical damage and may also brighten and moisturize skin,” says Dr. Kikam. Your body lotion might have retinol in it as well, which is ideal for anti-aging. Or, maybe there’s an acid in the mix. “These are wonderful for those with acne prone skin, body hyperpigmentation, KP, and even psoriasis.”

Meanwhile, if you're combatting body acne, Dr. Ahram advises using "a face moisturizer that is non-comedogenic or oil-free so that the moisturizer does not make acne worse."

What to Avoid

In terms of what to avoid, Dr. Ahram says, "In general, I don't love fragrance because it can cause irritation in people with sensitive skin or atopic dermatitis, as they already have a fragile skin barrier and I prefer to avoid ingredients that can cause irritation. Some can tolerate it without any negative side effects, but in general I do not recommend products that are heavily fragranced."

Double board-certified dermatologist and psychiatrist Dr. Amy Wechsler also recommends "avoiding ingredients such as lactic acid and glycolic acid" if you're looking for something highly moisturizing that won't irritate your skin.

Finally, Dr. Greenfield says, “I like to see that there are no drying ingredients like alcohol or any strong fragrances that may cause reactions in the skin."
