What they flagged

  • Too basic for the category

What the gurus are saying

This basic moisturizer earns sharply polarized takes: reviewers praise its emollient texture and real comfort for dryness, but others see it as simple lotion that you can get for less elsewhere. Those who love it report regular use for dry patches. However, gurus remain split on whether it justifies the price point.

"I use this a lot of times on my nape just for dryness, but I think it can really help for your face or just certain areas. It's a really wonderful product, I absolutely love it. We've got lots of good ingredients in here, we've got bis ceramides, allantoin, panthenol, vitamin E, it's wonderful, I love this stuff. Now it's in a squeeze tube bottle, but this stuff is really good, so it's worth checking out, especially for your face, it's really good for that."

"One of my absolute favorites is their DRMTLGY Soothe and Recovery Cream. This one's nearly empty, so I'm definitely repurchasing this one. It's 20 bucks, and the packaging is a little bit different now, it's in a squeeze tube, which is nice. Thick cream, it's great for areas of dehydration as well as irritation. I've been using this one on my neck or certain areas."

"This is their Soothe and Recovery Cream, which I tend to pass on and only use occasionally as a hand cream. [...] A lot of people love it, and it works well for normal to oily skin. It's one of those lighter formulas that actually works pretty well for a boost of hydration when you don't need something intense, that rare moment when I don't need an intense boost of moisture. But this is a great all around moisturizer if you're looking for something on the lighter side. It was a launch last year."

"Their Soothe and Recovery Cream is definitely underrated. I have just tried this product, it's new to me, I've used it several times and I love it. It's slightly more emollient than the peptide night cream they also have."

"The Soothe and Recovery Cream was definitely underwhelming. It's just your basic moisturizer, whereas the peptide night cream is amazing. [...] The Soothe and Recovery Cream is just kind of your basic lotion type moisturizer, just nothing special. I think this is the type of product that you probably get at a lower price point."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
