As someone who has notoriously suffered from dry skin all her life, I have always been on the hunt for a decent moisturiser that my skin actually likes.
Since last year, I have become obsessed with the CeraVe Moisturising Cream for Dry to Very Skin, as it is just “melts into your skin”. With 140,856 five-star reviews on Amazon, I am not the only convert after my review, as it has gone on to become a bestseller.
The main star of this moisturising cream is the inclusion of hyaluronic acid that helps to retain long-lasting hydration. It also contains three essential ceramides to lock in and retain your skin’s moisture, with some reviews saying skin is “hydrated after one use”.
Even better, Amazon has just slashed the cost of a massive 454g tub of this cream in its Spring Deal Days. Originally priced at £18.78, it has since been reduced to just £13.60 – so it might be worth trying it out for less, while you can.
What I personally loved about the CeraVe Moisturising Cream is its ability to be a bit of a “multi-tasker”, as it can be used on your face and your entire body. Since I tend to also get dry, cracked skin on my knuckles, the cream has been a lifesaver, particularly during the winter.

It’s also worth mentioning that this Moisturising Cream has been approved by dermatologists and is fragrance-free, making it suitable for anyone with sensitive skin. Meanwhile, it also boasts a rich, non-greasy formula that won’t feel sticky on the skin.
With an impressive 4.6 rating and thousands of global five-star reviews, it is understandable why the CeraVe Moisturising Cream has gone on to become a bit of a cult product for anyone with skin that needs a little bit of extra hydration.

Beauty deal of the week
Skincare addicts will have probably heard all about the craze for COSRX Snail Serum on social media.
The brand’s Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence (100ml) had a bit of a moment last year among beauty buffs who hailed it as “botox in a bottle”. Well, now it is officially once again back on sale for Amazon shoppers.
There are many beauty deals to pick up during the Amazon spring sale and one of them is this viral anti-ageing serum down from £21.99 to just £14.03 – saving shoppers £7.96 off the original price-tag. With over 76,000 reviews in total, it is easy to see why the serum is still an Amazon bestseller.
Boasting a lightweight texture, the CO SRX serum’s secret ingredient is the safely obtained snail essence that seeps into the skin for “healthy glow”. Designed to hydrate your skin and reduce the signs of ageing, it has beauty buffs branding its results as “magic” and “sorcery”.
Over 58,000 shoppers have left the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence with outstanding reviews that say it “changed the skin game” and “works better than designer brands”.
One enthusiastic Amazon shopper said: “I’ve never had dry nor oily skin, but recently felt as if my skin was tight. Using this has changed my makeup and skin game! Its light weight and a little goes along way. Use it twice a day under moisturiser and leaves my skin GLOWINGG. My skin feels a lot more plump and hydrated. Will 10000% buy again!”
Shoppers can purchase the Amazon deal on the COSRX Advanced 96 Snail Mucin Power Essence (100ml) here.
Another shopper gushed: “It’s a very light cream that absorbs quickly, it’s comfortable to use and doesn’t make your face feel wet or sticky. It is great you can use it throughout the day as much as you need, you only need to apply it lightly and its hydrates your skin all day.”
And another added: “Bought this as it contains ceramides, which many creams don’t. Excellent for dry or mature skin. Very thick, non greasy, absorbs well. Will definitely keep using. The pot is huge so will last ages. So pleased with this.”
Some shoppers have found the cream “too rich” for their skin, with one writing: “After reading the many positive reviews for this cream, I decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, this cream is far too rich and does not absorb into skin as many reviews have stated. Whilst it does hydrate the skin, I feel like it just kind of sits on top and feels very sticky and uncomfortable.”
