Dermatologist recommended moisturizer for dry sensitive skin

Despite having a strong inclination towards hoarding products that smell or look good (happens to the best of us), the chances of the outcome to be as disappointing as a lottery scratch card is pretty high. We often forget that fancy-schmancy packaging is honestly just not going to cut it. If you’re still in pursuit of good skin, let's talk about the power base of every skin regime. Moisturizer.

Now, we wanted to be really sure of what we curate for you. That said, we decided to put our opinions aside and turn to the ones that know better. Dermatologists. As our curiosity rose on a rapid pace, we got digging on what the skin experts slather on every morning. Well, for starters pretty tubs and tubes must be distant priority. We’re talking fragrance-free, hypo-allergenic and most importantly dermatologically tested moisturizers to give you legit results. Now you don’t have to shell out your hard-earned money to pay for a consultation.

We’ve listed five dermatologically approved moisturizers the labs have been so diligently formulating for optimum skin health.
