This was my favorite until I found a cheaper alternative that also had SPF, "Enrich" from trader Joes, but this has been the one I have been using for a long time. THe SPF isn't that important to me because my Makeup has sunscreen in it, it you no not wear make up I advice to get a lightweight sunscreen to wear as well if you choose this moisturizer . But I have very sensitive skin and this has helped me with all of my skin issues.

This is the gentlest moisturizer I have found and I especially like it for these reasons a) it has natural ingredients like chamomile related feverview, and b) it has the spf 15, so I don't need another layer of cream on my face to protect it from the devastating sun.
the best i've found for my sensitive skin!

I have tried many different hand moisturizers, this is by far the best that I have ever used. It was recommended by my dermatologist, and I have used it ever since. It keeps my hands moisturized all day.

Best cream around for extremely sensitive skin, like mine and yours. It's pleasantly creamy, and a little goes a long way.
The vitamin E is awesome I can tell it really soothes my troubled skin.
Rub it in all the way and it won't be greasy or anything.
Oh and it smells delicious as well!
Great stuff.

I like this stuff. It's great for sensitive skin (I use it on my sons eczema) and great for dry skin such as my face in the winter. It's so soft and my face just soaks it right up. It doesn't leave behind any kind of residue or make me produce oil in return. It just works. I love the smell and the feel. It's wonderful.

There is a wellness company that I purchase a few products from that has a truly miraculous lotion. The site is:
http://www.melaleuca.com/ProductStore/Product.aspx...
and the lotion is called Renew. It heals, protects, and prevents dry skin while restoring moisture. My skin is left soft and pampered but not greasy...and not for a significant price. It's proven to be better than Eurcerin. It absorbs quickly, lasts a very long time (an a little goes a long way), and definitely replenishes damage. When my 2 year old started breaking out with eczema I tried everything under the sun to cure it. Some things relieved the itch for a time, some relieved the bumps, some relieved the redness, but nothing worked permanently and nothing did everything all at once. This is the only product that has helped with it all and has kept it away. He's doing much better...and...when I stop using it (like if I run out) I immediately notice the bumps coming back and his poor little hands scratching everything. It's a great product.

Oil free is the best for sensitive skin. I always break out in a rash when it has oil, but this one really soothes my skin.

You would think that by the you turn 25 your skin would have cleared up, and you would have nice radiant skin. Well not for me! My skin is so temperamental, it the cold weather it gets flakey, int he hot weather it gets dry, in the sun I get sunburnt, in the spring I get break outs! I talked to my dermatologist and the one thing he told me is to keep your moisturizer constant and that it is needed the entire year! I do like Trader Joes Enrich as well, it is a great price and I like the sunscreen built in. My skin has seen improvements and I am loving it! it is also PABA free and is a great way to treat your skin how it deserves to be looked after. I would definitely recommend this product!

Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Body Creme, Fragrance Free, 4 oz.

This is very moisturizing but it feels kinda heavy. Usually when you are that dry its doesn't hurt to put some heavy cream on your skin. I use this once a week and my skin is soft.
