For Dr. Gross, the Cetaphil Body Moisturizer ($16) is an "impressive product," especially for his dry skin (although it works for all skin types, including those who lean sensitive because it's fragrance-free and non-comedogenic).
"Sweet almond oil compared to other oils is a really good choice, so that product has it in there, and vitamin B3, niacinamide, I love that ingredient, it's brilliant," he says. "If I'm gonna recommend an oil, I'm a big believer in sweet almond oil. When it comes to oils, you don't want it to be too heavy because that can block pores and oil glands." Cetaphil's Body Moisturizer contains vitamin E, glycerin, and vitamin B5 as well, which all help to reduce inflammation and irritation on the skin while delivering deep hydration and helping restore the skin's moisture barrier.
Pro Tip: Dr. Gross loves to use this moisturizer daily but also recommends using it after using the Alpha Beta Exfoliating Body Treatment ($60), which helps "get rid of KP and hyperpigmentation, and it helps firm the skin; you exfoliate with your body peel, and then you put on that product," he says.
