Hydration is essential for mature skin because we lose moisture and collagen over time. While it may be easy to remember to apply a facial moisturizer every day, we often neglect other areas that need hydration. Therefore, the best lotions for aging skin deserve a spot in your skincare routine. "As we age, estrogen and hyaluronic acid levels decline, sun damage accumulates, and our barrier weakens," says Mona Gohara, MD, associate clinical professor of dermatology at Yale School of Medicine and member of the Preventive Medicine Review Board. "The effect of this combination is less hydration in the skin and less radiance. This can be offset with a good moisturizer or two! The key is to replace what's been lost and support what's been biologically compromised." Finding ingredients that nourish the skin is also key to finding the best body lotion for aging skin. "Hydration is key, and ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and ceramides help retain moisture," explains Supriya Rastogi, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York City. Here are the best body lotions for aging skin, according to experts, reviews, and our editors. Gold Bond Age Renew Retinol Night Body and Face Lotion Dr. Rastogi says this lotion, which can be used on the face or body, is a must-have. The non-greasy formula moisturizes and exfoliates at the same time, with ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, and glycerin to make skin soft. It also contains retinol, which firms the skin for a more youthful appearance. It's also free of parabens, dyes, and fragrances. Reviewer Rating: "I had slightly saggy skin on the backs of my hands, but it's gone now and my skin looks younger. My freckles and discoloration (sun damage) have also been noticeably reduced since using this lotion. I apply it on my arms at night and wake up to a noticeably more even skin tone," the reviewer wrote. CeraVe Daily Moisturizing Lotion Dr. Jaliman also recommends CeraVe products because their ingredients are skin-friendly and because they "contain hyaluronic acid for hydration." The lightweight formula is fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and contains three essential ceramides that help restore the skin barrier. It's also approved by the National Eczema Association, making it a great choice for those with sensitive skin. What reviewers say: "Since I have extremely sensitive skin, I often have a hard time finding moisturizers that don't cause irritation, but this lotion works really well. It provides long-lasting moisture without feeling greasy, and the hyaluronic acid provides extra hydration to my skin. It absorbs quickly and leaves skin feeling soft all day. I love that it's gentle enough for face and body," one shopper wrote.
