When the Weather Outside Is Frightful: CeraVe Moisturizing Cream

Ah, winter. Even though I know it's coming every year, it still seems to take me by surprise. And all of a sudden, my skin is paying the price. Well, except for this year ... because, luckily, I had my trusty CeraVe Moisturizing Cream by my side.

I've been extremely loyal to my Garnier Moisture Rescue Refreshing Gel Cream up until now. I applied it faithfully every morning, and my skin was soft and glowy. But, as temperatures began to drop, I realized I needed a heavy-duty cream instead of a gel to successfully get my skin through the winter months. Enter this huge tub of creamy goodness.

I was already a huge fan of the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, so it only stands to reason that the moisturizer would steal my heart, too. It's formulated with patented MVE delivery technology, which provides a controlled release of ceramides and protective ingredients to the skin.

So, what does this really mean? Just that my skin is softer than a baby's bottom and I look like I'm glowing from the inside out! You know, no big deal.

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream retails for $15.79 at drugstore.com.
