People Say
★4.5Overall rating based on 7.5k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, this product is highly regarded for its ability to hydrate normal to dry and sensitive skin, leaving it soft and smooth without a heavy feel. A significant number of users report that it absorbs quickly and is gentle enough for sensitive skin. Some users with very dry skin find it insufficient for long-lasting moisture, and a moderate number of recent reviews indicate a formula change has resulted in a sticky texture or mild irritation.

Questions and answers
How well does Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion work for dry sensitive skin?
Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion provides moderate hydration for dry sensitive skin using glycerin and petrolatum, while dimethicone helps smooth and soften dry areas. The formula is safe and unlikely to cause irritation, though body lotions that fit this skin best need deep hydration, soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, and rich nourishing agents to ensure optimal moisture and barrier support.
Which ingredients make this body lotion a good fit for dry sensitive skin?
Glycerin, petrolatum, and dimethicone make this body lotion a good fit by helping hydrate your dry skin, supporting your skin barrier, and smoothing away flakiness. A body lotion for this skin type needs exceptionally effective, soothing ingredients that provide deep hydration and nourishment without any risk of irritation, such as hyaluronic acid and glycerin.
What does Water do for dry sensitive skin?
Hard water increases soap deposits and dryness, making dry sensitive skin more prone to irritation and flare-ups. A product of this type needs gentle cleansers and soothing ingredients to calm the skin and protect its moisture barrier against hard water minerals.
The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2018Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 2021
What does Glycerin do for dry sensitive skin?
Glycerin helps dry sensitive skin by drawing moisture into the skin and keeping it there, making the skin soft and smooth. It is very gentle and unlikely to cause irritation while improving how well the skin holds onto water. This type of skin needs ingredients that boost hydration and repair the barrier without causing stinging.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008
Where does it go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?
Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion goes as the final step of your evening routine and whenever your skin feels dry, as it helps hydrate and soften dry skin safely without harsh ingredients. Because it offers only moderate moisture for this skin type, dry sensitive skin typically needs a richer lotion with heavier sealing ingredients and soothing hydrators to stay comfortable.
Can I use this body lotion with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this body lotion with retinol by applying the lotion after your retinol treatment to help soothe and hydrate your dry skin. This type of skin needs a moisturizer with ingredients like ceramides and nourishing plant oils to better support barrier resilience and keep skin feeling soft and smooth.
How often should I use it?
You can use this body lotion daily to help keep your dry skin hydrated and comfortable. Regular use of a moisturizer supports your skin barrier and may reduce dryness and flakiness over time.
Can this body lotion clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry sensitive skin?
This body lotion is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on dry sensitive skin because its ingredients are generally gentle and safe. However, because it contains mineral oil and petrolatum, a product of this type meant for this skin needs lighter, non-clogging hydrators and soothing plant extracts to keep skin clear and comfortable.
Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
What the research says
A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012Repeated application of concentrated water-in-oil emulsions over four weeks caused no skin irritation, positively affected skin properties, and delivered almost 50% of the applied fluorescein sodium, with isopropyl myristate showing superior penetration performance compared to liquid paraffin in healthy volunteers.
