You Need a Great Body Lotion. Here Are 22 of the Best.

Normally, skincare products that claim to work as well on one part of the body as it does on another. But Nivea’s specially formulated 3-in-1 lotion uses aloe vera to actually deliver on its promise, making it an ideal low-budget option for dudes who can’t get behind springing for three different products when they could buy one instead.

We knew Alaffia’s shea-infused body lotion was good when we included it in our annual Grooming Awards, but since then it seems like everyone else has realized it, too. (We’d like to think we played a role there.) As of now, it’s sold out nearly everywhere. But if you can wait a week, you, too, will soon be able to slather away with impunity. Trust me, it’s worth it.

There’s a reason Aveeno’s remained a stalwart of the skincare scene for as long as it has. The brand might only do a few things, but it does ‘em with intention. Its signature fragrance-free body lotion will gently soothe your skin, leaving it feeling nourished throughout the worst of the season.

Ditto CeraVe, the skincare giant behind some of the best affordable grooming products in drugstores across the country. The brand’s lotion uses hyaluronic acid to help your skin retain its natural moisture while providing long-lasting hydration.

Brickell’s beloved body lotion uses 80 percent certified organic ingredients, including a much-needed dose of Vitamin E, to keep your skin hydrated in less-than ideal conditions—all wrapped in a bottle that looks like it took its design cues from your favorite brand of whiskey.

Applying anything with the word “cool” in it might seem counterintuitive when it’s below 40 degrees outside, but all sensical thinking goes right out the door once you find yourself gently slathering on this soothing body lotion after a hot shower. (Yes, it’s that good.)

A smash-hit since it was first introduced decades ago, Kiehl’s’ signature non-greasy body lotion combines cocoa butter with beta-carotene to leave your skin feeling soft and silky. And FWIW: it’s in French, so you know it’s fancy.

For those who suffer from very dry skin, Vaseline’s intensive care lotion is a thick, moisturizing option to slather on right out of the shower. It needs a second to dry but it is worth it for skin that needs it.

Malin+Goetz’s lightweight moisturizer calls in the big guns (a motley crew of vitamins and essential fatty acids) to help your skin feel hydrated and look on-point now matter how low the temperatures drop.

You might be familiar with Joe Malone’s pomegranate bona fides through the brand’s scented cologne. Its body lotion combines the best of what a spritz of that fragrance has to offer with all the hydrating powers of a top-of-the-line moisturizer.

A good body lotion moisturizes dry skin. A great body lotion goes the extra mile and does something more—this one, for instance, powerfully anti-ages your skin with tightening ingredients like elderberry blossom extract and white almond extract.

I know that you know (and likely love) Le Labo’s Santal 33 fragrance—who doesn’t? Well, I have good news for you. That iconic scent can literally be slathered all over your body, because it comes as a body lotion, too. The hydrating and moisturizing effects are just bonuses.

Okay, hear me out—I know this one is expensive. But it’s worth it! Macadamia nuts and sandalwood oils work overtime to hydrate dry skin, and the woody, citrusy scent is nothing to whine about, either.

Chanel is a go-to for grooming products, from soaps to fragrances—and it’s good to know their body lotion holds up, too. With a rich, fresh scent, this is a summer staple.

With shea butter in it’s formula and notes of pepper, rose, raspberry, and amber, this is a body lotion that feels as good as it smells.

Ceramides help your skin retain its moisture, and Dr. Jart+’s body lotion version is a lifesaver for dry skin.

If you have sensitive skin and are looking for something clean and unscented, Nécessaire is the way to go. Also formulated with niacinamide, the known-to-be miracle ingredient helps to strength your skin’s barrier.

Molton Brown’s lotion blends subtle scents of orange and bergamot for a gently refreshing fragrance in a fast-absorbing product with.

If you tend to get clogged pores, acne, or chicken skin on your body, AmLactin’s lotion is moisturizing and has lactic acid so that moisture doesn’t further irritate the skin.
