I’ve always struggled with dry skin on my legs, but during the pandemic I knew that had to change. I can’t remember exactly how many oats and aloe body lotions I tried and never committed to it. My legs always lacked moisture and craved a cure that I could never find. That is, until I discovered it The moisturizing cream from CeraVe.

The skin rescuer is available for under $16, so don’t wait until you buy it. I say that because the moisturizer makes me lather up after every shower, and that’s something its shelf peers have never been able to do for me in the past. And if before lotions failed, I either stuck with them out of defeat or stopped hydrating my legs temporarily (10 out of 10 wouldn’t recommend this).

No matter the time of year or if your skin appears visibly dry, your legs – and the rest of your body – need reliable, effective and gentle care moisturizer in everyday life. That’s a big lesson I learned after ignoring my dry skin and then Searching for my holy grail solution. And apparently a lot of other people feel the same way. Over 95,000 buyers on Amazon gave the moisturizer a perfect ratingit has an average rating of 4.8 stars (!!) And it is the #1 bestseller in its category. The last time I saw anything with those markings was, well, never.

“Throw away all your lotions and buy this. I wish I had a bathtub full of it. I have never seen a cream
work as fast or as good,” wrote one reviewer who has struggled with dry skin for years. “After using it for just a week my legs are so soft and smooth it’s amazing. I will never be without.” TBH, same.

You’re probably wondering how the heck it does the trick so well. The main ingredients in each Cerave Product are ceramides, which act as the glue that holds your skin cells together. They ensure a healthy skin barrier that locks in moisture. And in this special formula, three essential ceramides blend with Hyaluronic Acid, the almighty water-retaining ingredient. Rounding out the formula is MVE Delivery Technology, which is a fancy way of saying the product unleashes its superstar ingredients for 24/7 hydration.

Did I mention that? it is also multifunctional? You can spread the cream pretty much anywhere on your body, from your arms and legs to your face and hands. Real talk though — I’ve never been this excited to slather my body with moisturizer after stepping out of the shower — and that’s saying a lot.

After rubbing this mass over my arms and legs, they immediately feel silky soft. Even if I miss a day or haven’t shaved in ages, my skin is still soft and nourished. And if you’re worried about the texture, don’t. It’s thick but doesn’t leave a sticky or greasy feeling on the skin. Plus, the product is non-comedogenic and certified by the National Eczema Association, so even those with super-sensitive skin can join in the fun.

“It’s seriously a Holy Grail Product‘ wrote one Amazon shopper, who gave it a perfect rating. “I hardly use any and it covers my whole face. About a teaspoon-sized drop covers my body!”

After falling head over heels in love with this cream, I may or may not have emptied my pockets for more CeraVe products. The eye repair cream and the SA Body Wash for rough and uneven skin both work wonders on my eyes and face. What can I say – I’m a certified CeraVe enthusiast and you know exactly where to find me when you’re stocking up on another gigantic tub moisturizer.
