Dry, cold, blustery winter days aren’t just hard on the psyche. They’re also really hard on our skin! The freezing air combined with low humidity and indoor heating yields a perfect storm for dryness, breakouts and dullness. Even a (seemingly innocent) hot shower further dries out the skin; direct wind exposure and constant indoor-to-outdoor temperature changes add to the storm!

If you want to keep your skin smooth, hydrated and healthy this winter and beyond, it starts with keeping your skin protected from extreme elements — including hot showers. Avoiding harsh air, dialing back the shower temperature and using a humidifier, however, can only go so far. The proper moisturizer is key to maintaining a supple winter glow. And while many top-quality skincare products cost hundreds of dollars, one of the best moisturizers we’ve tried is just over $50. To call this just a moisturizer, however, doesn’t do it justice!

This nourishing skin cream contains a patented triple lipid blend that restores the skin’s ceramides and fatty acids while peptides firm the skin, minimize lines and redness, support the skin barrier and soothe sensitive skin. The result is a youthful, dewy appearance and an ultra-strong skin barrier. Glycerin is icing on the hydration cake, giving the skin a visibly plump look.

Aside from a radiant complexion, you’ll enjoy long-lasting moisture that doesn’t feel greasy or thick. This rich cream works fast, too, giving your skin an instant boost upon application. According to the brand, the cream can increase lipids in dry skin by 223% in just three hours! But improvements aren’t limited to the lipid department. Just check the clinical results!

97% of users noticed immediate improvements in hydration as well as smoother, softer skin in one week. With consistent use, you’ll kick winter dullness to the curb! Plus, it couldn’t be easier to incorporate this cream into your routine. Simply cleanse per usual, apply serums and use a full pump to cover your face, neck and upper chest.

This pH-balanced cream is suitable for anyone, even those with sensitive or extra-dry skin. It’s free of fragrances, parabens, sulfates, phthalates, essential oils and other irritating ingredients common in many moisturizers, so you don’t have to worry about any adverse reactions. It’s considered Skinfix’s “hero product” for a reason!

Your skin will look and feel younger, more radiant and more nourished than ever before — no matter the season. “This is my second purchase of this cream and it’s excellent,” one reviewer writes. ” It can be used twice a day but I use it in my morning routine and it’s great under make up. Very calming and nourishing. No scent. Excellent packaging. I will not be without this cream. Highly recommend!”
