People Say

★4.5Overall rating based on 7.5k+ reviews

Based 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

Why is Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion a weak match for sensitive skin?

This lotion is a weak match because, while its glycerin and mineral oil provide basic moisture, the formula lacks soothing ingredients that target redness and irritation. A body lotion for sensitive skin needs calming components like fermented Centella Asiatica, cica ceramide, and nourishing oils to strengthen the skin barrier.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this body lotion a poor fit for sensitive skin?

This body lotion is a weak match for sensitive skin because its ingredients do not target redness and irritation. A body lotion for this skin needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica and Cica Ceramide to calm irritation and strengthen the skin barrier while keeping skin soft.

What does Water do for sensitive skin?

Using cool water for facial cleansing preserves skin barrier integrity and lowers skin surface pH in healthy adults. This helps keep skin calm and hydrated without causing the irritation associated with warmer water.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2026

What does Glycerin do for sensitive skin?

Glycerin helps keep sensitive skin soft and deeply hydrated while supporting the skin barrier. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may protect against dryness and roughness.

The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008Acta Dermato-venereologica, 1999

Where does this body lotion go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This body lotion does not fit into a facial skincare routine for sensitive skin because it is designed for the body and lacks ingredients that calm redness and irritation. A body lotion for sensitive skin needs gentle, soothing hydrators and calming ingredients to keep it comfortable.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022

Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this body lotion after applying your retinol, though it only offers basic moisture and does not target redness or irritation. Sensitive skin dealing with retinol needs a moisturizer with soothing ingredients and skin barrier protectors to keep things calm and smooth.

Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?

This lotion is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on sensitive skin, as it has a generally safe formula that avoids harsh ingredients. However, it is a weak match for sensitive skin because it lacks specific benefits for redness and irritation, so sensitive skin needs a formula with soothing and calming ingredients.

Is this body lotion 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

    Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
  • The 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, 2020
  • Ten 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, 2001
  • Niacinamide/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, 2012

Why other products fit sensitive skin better
