We know which is the moisturizing cream for body and face that dermatologists take on vacation

If you Google 'Dexeryl moisturizing cream' you will confirm (almost) everything we promise in this article. This is not exactly a magic cream with an indefinite list of uses, but it is one of the best emollient creams for body and face. Less is more and finding a cream that really does the job of moisturizing the skin (really) is not always easy. It is a classic from the French group Pierre Fabre – specifically from its dermatological division – and one of the moisturizers that dermatologists and, above all, paediatricians prescribe very frequently. This is confirmed by the multiple rewiews of it on the net and the pharmacists Felipe Martín, from Farmacia Galileo61, and María José Cejas, from Europa Dermofarmacia, with whom we have talked about this long-standing product. “It is the classic treatment of choice in many recommendations, especially by pediatricians. In addition, it is not only a cosmetic product, but it is also authorized as a health product”, says Martín, referring to the fact that this cream also has the category of authorized product to treat and cure. As pointed out by Eyebrows – this cream is in the top sales of your pharmacy for its good quality-price ratio – it is a lipid-replenishing product that provides the skin with fatty acids that it is not capable of producing by itself.

It is more than likely that you have seen it at the top of the shelves of your pharmacy – it is a best-seller – and among its benefits is that of moisturizing the driest and even atopic skin without greasing it. As they explain to us from Galileo 61, being an emollient cream, its texture is somewhat thick, but (oh yes) it is quickly absorbed. And that when talking about body creams for dry skin is a #HappyNews to which we must add another one: it can even be used on the skin of the face if it is very dry and dehydrated.

That said, it is not surprising that it is also favored by dermatologists. And we are not just referring to the fact that they include it in their list of recommendations for their patients – Dr. Elena Martínez, a dermatologist at the Pilar de Frutos Clinic, prescribes it to combat dry hands derived from the use of disinfectant gels. But also because it is the cream that many experts take on vacation due to its tremendous versatility. This is confirmed by Dr. Paloma Cornejo, who usually includes it in her summer bag. "It is very moisturizing, rich in Vaseline, paraffin and glycerol, so it is ideal after sun exposure," she tells us. And, of course, that this is the cream that a dermatologist chooses at that moment when you want a moisturizer that works, that saves you from post-solar dryness without greasing and that is valid for the whole family, is an added value.

Although we are not talking about a cream that is valid for almost everything –that is the domain of other classics such as Aquaphor or Bepanthol–, we are dealing with that moisturizing cream that we should always have on hand to hydrate the entire body, including the feet (we know for good ink that podiatrists also recommend). At the end of the day, that it is valid for the whole family, that it alleviates the drama of dry skin and that it can be used on the face and body, it always comes in handy. Very well.
