Promising reviews: "I have oily skin in the summer and super dry skin in the winter. I literally sleep next to a humidifier. Otherwise my skin is so flaky. This is the only night cream I’ve ever found that leaves my face looking so fresh and dewy and I even wake up and it still feels moisturized without my humidifier...  It’s so thick and creamy." —Keke Carter

"I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff. I was almost on my way to getting Botox and possibly filler because my skin was just looking and feeling old. For 36, I felt like it was looking 46 because my skin tends to be so dry. But the second I started using this stuff my skin plumped up and glowed in a way like NEVER before." —Crissy

Get it from Amazon for $39.75+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "This is my new favorite skincare product. I live in a cold winter climate, and this stuff does the trick to keep my face looking and feeling hydrated in the super dry air. It’s lightweight on skin, not greasy at all, and has not caused any issues for my sensitive skin. I will definitely be purchasing this product again." —HK

The formula includes nourishing vitamin B5 and soothing comfrey root extract.

Promising review: "I have been using this for almost 6 months now. My skin is usually on the dry side and using this twice a day my skin doesn’t have dry patches anymore. The best thing about this product is it doesn’t make your face feel greasy or break out!" —Samantha Lewis

Get it from Amazon for $24+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "This Dr. Jart+ face mask is awesome. I love how thick it is — it feels super hydrating and luxe — and the two-piece design makes it fit so much better. My skin looks calm and glowy after every use." —Elizabeth Gordon

Get it from Amazon for $11.20+ (available in four formulations).

Promising review: "I cannot state enough how quickly this product works. Overnight it improves the moisture of my lips." —Evie

Promising review: "Hands down, the absolute best thing I’ve ever used on my hands. My hands have gotten dry and cracked throughout the winter, my entire life. In Alaska, where I’m from, they’ve been ridiculously bad. But in Washington, where I live now, it still happens on occasion. Rub over cuts and all and the moisture you get out of that is so immediate, instantly soothing, it’s amazing. If I could afford it, I’d buy it by the case. (Or rather, by the gallon.)" —Rochelle DesJarlais

Get it from Amazon for $7.97+ (available in three sizes and packs of one, two, or three).

Promising review: "I loooove this lotion. (It's called a mask, but I use it just like a lotion.) It smells incredible, and the texture of my (very middle-aged) skin is fantastic mornings after I use it. I have pretty dry skin and live in a desert, and it hydrates so well. Buy it!" —SHDesigner

"Wow! I’m 30 years old and just used this product last night for the first time, slept with it on and woke up with baby soft, super even skin (plus it’s my time of the month when my face gets more irritating)... My skin is super even and bright." —Geo Storm

Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Healthcare worker here! Winters are brutal on my hands especially with all the hand sanitizer and washing at work. I put these bad boys on for 20 minutes and I felt so much relief and my hands even look visibly more moisturized." —Whitney Huntington

Promising review: "Amazing scent and lasting hydration. Living in Michigan, I find that the winter months are so drying to your skin. This leaves behind lasting moisture without being heavy or sticky." —A. B. 

Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "Love this cream, super moisturizing, my skin never feels dry even in the winter. Great for winter, overnight, or when you feel you need a heavier cream." —Anonymous

Get it from Dermstore for $58+ (available in two sizes).

Promising reviews: "I couldn’t love this more!!! I use it night and day it is the best for thirsty skin and it’s giving me an amazing glow every day!" —clairenconnell

"I didn’t want to love this product, but it’s so incredible for my ultra dry, sensitive, eczema-prone skin. As someone whose skin is way too dry and sensitive for MOST products, not only did this work, but it significantly improved my skin's barrier and lasting hydration throughout the day!" —Laney02

Get it from Sephora for $20+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I have combination skin that tends to get dry and flaky in the winter, and this essence has been a game changer for me. The texture is thick and a little sticky at first, but it absorbs beautifully after a few seconds and leaves my skin feeling hydrated, plump, and smooth. I like to apply it right after cleansing, before moisturizer, and it gives my skin a nice glow without feeling greasy." —Dany Filippini

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "This has transformed my feet after using it consistently. It is a thicker cream, so your heels have to be softened for it to be absorbed. Shower, this repair cream, socks, did this for a few months, and I had dry, cracked heels, and now they’re so soft I’m no longer embarrassed to wear open-toed shoes." —Kaylee

Promising review: "So far, I have to say, this is one that is a keeper. ChapStick and others that I have used before would be on my lips for 45 mins and then, nothing! My lips would be dry, chapped, and sometimes even peeling, which hurts.

With E.l.f., I can still feel the moisture on my lip, even if most of it is not there, all thanks to their hydrating core lip shine. Thanks for making this product. You're saving my lips." —Shim

Get it from Amazon for $8 (available in five shades).

Promising reviews: "I am currently going through Isotretinoin treatment so my skin is unbelievably dry... [this] serum is amazing! It’s hydrating, my skin is smoother, glowing, plump, and the fine lines I have around my tired eyes seem to be lessened. The hydration lasts all day. It glides on and is NOT sticky at all." —Roma Ricci

"On my second bottle of this. A little goes a long way and very moisturizing. Using this every morning and evening for extra hydration during Winter." —anecoetzee

Get it from Amazon for $5+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack).

Promising review: "This is my absolute favorite 'foundation' to wear. I wear this instead of any heavy foundation. The coverage is buildable and my dry skin soaks it right up! It looks natural and still corrects and evens out my skin, and the SPF is amazing. I will never go back to a heavy foundation! It's truly amazing." —Cassie Jones

Get it from Amazon for $50 (available in 20 shades).

Promising review: "These Dr. Scholl’s foot masks are ultra-hydrating and amazing. I use them once and my feet are still extremely soft weeks later. They are deeply moisturizing and actually repaired my dry. cracked feet. I love them so much I will be sharing them as stocking stuffers this year because who doesn’t love, soft feet? HIGHLY recommend!" —Tina_Chris

Promising review: "One of my favorite recent purchases that I got at a Dermatologist's recommendation. I love that I can spray this over makeup, almost like a setting spray, with the added benefit of SPF. Others have commented on the scent which I find barely noticeable and pleasant. My mature skin tends to be dry and this product gives a great overall glow. I will definitely buy again." —JJW

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "As someone whose skin gets very dry with weather changes, I absolutely adore this moisturizer! My initial concerns were the size of the container and the thickness of the moisturizer, but both ended up being a nonissue for me. The container seems pretty small, but I’ve been using this every day for over half a year and I still have what seems like two months worth of product left! It has a thick look but glides on smoother than butter and just melts into the skin, leaving no residue or sticky feeling." —Ava Zola

Promising review: "For someone who hates lotions, I LOVE this one! It doesn’t burn my skin like others when I have severely dry hands and soaks in well. It smells wonderful!" —Kayla Davis

Promising reviews: "I love this lip sleep mask. I have ALWAYS had dry lips. In the wintertime, my lips chap right around the outside of my lips. It is just something I have dealt with all my life. This mask has really helped. I've only been using it for a week, but I can already see a difference. Love it and will buy it again and again." —Billie Alberts

"I just bought my second container of this. It's the best product for lips I've ever used! I used to get really dry, cracked lips every winter. I don't have that problem since I started using this. It has such a wonderful smell and feel. Also, one little container lasted me THREE YEARS!!! And I don't just use it in winter. I use it year-round, and it still lasted three years before I needed to replace it. Other reviewers might say it's overpriced, but I've never had a lip balm last that long. I'd say for the price, it's more than worth it." —Laurie

Get it from Amazon for $24 (available in 11 scents/flavors).

Promising review: "Very dry winters and summers where I live make a thick moisturizer absolutely essential. I use this in my everyday routine to seal in a more watery moisturizer, and then put sunscreen over it. The perfect thick moisturizer at a budget-friendly price. I also feel that it lasts longer than my previous product for skin barrier repair, Great Barrier Relief!" —Christa White

Promising reviews: "This works so well as a hydrating toner step. I spray it on after washing my face and pat it in like an essence. Great for dry or dehydrated skin." —Vanessa

"This hydrating mist is like no other I've tried. I love that it's a jelly skincare that sprays onto face for ultimate hydration. It surprisingly has an even spritz, and a fine mist. I love that it keeps my skin smooth and moisturized. There's no overpowering scent, and its perfect for acne or sensitive skin. I love this jelly hydrating spray." —Antonia 

Get it from Dr. Althea for $17.91 (originally $19.90).

Promising review: "Oh honey, this BYOMA Creamy Jelly Cleanser is the moment! From the adorable packaging to the dreamy formula, it’s giving everything it needs to give. My skin? Baby soft. My vibe? Flawless. The texture is pure luxury — silky, creamy, and just the right amount of jelly goodness. It gently melts away the drama (and dirt) of the day without stripping my face of its natural glow. She’s hydrating, she’s soothing, and she’s here to slay. 💖✨" —Lily

Promising review: "I’m obsessed with these masks! They leave my skin feeling so hydrated, refreshed, and glowing every single time. The fit is perfect, they don’t slide around, and I love how easy they are to use. Definitely a must-have in my skincare routine!" —Zeynep Mallah

Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in 12 packs of varying sizes and treatments).
