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.

"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. I've been exercising a lot and I get certain areas, like around my elbows and behind my knees, where it's getting kind of irritated, so I like to use this one as a first line of defense before like hydrocortisone or anything like that. Contains cactus, panthenol, and vitamin E. It's fragrance free, and 20 bucks, I mean that's half the price of almost any Olay product or half of the Neutrogena ones out there now too."

"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."
