To improve patient care and outcomes, leading dermatologists offered their recommendations on the top body moisturizers. Consideration must be given to:

CeraVe
Valeant Consumer Products, a divison of Valeant Pharmaceuticals North America LLC
"Very elegant with good barrier repair."—Jeffrey M. Weinberg, MD, New York, New York
Cetaphil RESTORADERM Skin Restoring Moisturizer
Galderma Laboratories, LP
"This is a great general moisturizer and great for those with atopic skin. The added ceramides help to promote proper epidermal barrier function. The product does not have a greasy feeling, which is great for all year-round.”—Anthony M. Rossi, MD, New York, New York
Eau Thermale Avène Trixéra+ Sélectiose Emollient Cream
Pierre Fabre Dermo-Cosmetique USA
"I recommended Trixéra emollient cream because it is safe to use even on infant skin. It is a very soothing cream just as soon as it is applied. It restores skin's natural barrier because of the key ingredient Sélectiose, which aids in the reduction of hypersensitivity and inflammation of the skin." —Marta I. Rendon, MD, Boca Raton, Florida
Eucerin Intensive Repair Extra-Enriched Hand Creme
Beiersdorf, Inc
Recommended by Marian Northington, MD, Birmingham, Alabama
Eucerin Professional Repair Extremely Dry Skin Lotion
Beiersdorf, Inc
Recommended by Deborah S. Sarnoff, MD, New York, New York
Kiehl's Creme de Corps
Kiehl's
Recommended by Gary Goldenberg, MD, New York, New York
