It has also won the seal of approval from shoppers. One happy shopper enthused in their review: ' CeraVe Fragrance Free Daily Moisturiser With SPF50 is a great cream to apply in the morning as last step of the skincare routine because of SPF which protects the skin from harmful UVA/UVB rays.
'I do apply SPF all year round and I found this cream perfect for my dry skin type.
'Love the fact how well it hydrates my skin and leaves the glowy finish all day long without leaving a sticky or greasy feeling on the face, also it spreads easily without leaving any white traces on the skin. Recommend.'
Another said: 'This is a must have routine for dry skin. Having dry and flaky skin is not something that I want but thanks to this power duo, it is unbelievable how my skin changed since I started using it.
'The lotion is perfect for both mornings and evenings, with a lightweight formula that allows it to get absorbed easily without any greasiness left behind.'
It wasn't for everyone in the reviews, although the majority are overwhelmingly positive. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here
One person wrote: 'Can't get on with this cream. Too thick and doesn't get absorbed enough to apply make-up on top.
'Only bought it because I love the PM cream but was so disappointed in this one.'
Yet someone else added: ' The best product for dry skin , I love how it contains SPF 50 and it is fragrance free meaning that my skin barrier is protected from harsh chemicals. I love using this lotion the morning before applying makeup.'

Sali Hughes on beauty: get your feet sandal-ready with a summer makeover
My feet have been in sandals for weeks and were ready to strip by April. I maintain them by filing and moisturising all winter, but a salon appointment is justifiable, especially if you have been inattentive. The Guardian's journalism is independent. We will earn a commission if you buy something through an affiliate link. Learn more. Ask your pedicurist to use an e-file (a fine rotating electrical file) on rough heels, dry and jagged cuticles, and calloused toes. I always do this: the increase in smoothness is significant and can be maintained with DIY filing between appointments. For these intervals, I use the very effective Boots Hard Skin Remover (£3.59) with regular soap in my weekly bath, and Glowxie's Glass Foot File (£16.95; I like its palm-sized design, but any will do) for one session of dry filing between soaks. I never bother with at-home electrical devices. They're nowhere near as effective as either an e-file or a manual file, and are a complete waste of cash and plastic. I trim any dried, rough outer cuticles on either side of my toes (never on the nail bed itself) with Tweezerman Rockhard Cuticle Nipper (£30), and follow with whichever oil is handy – cuticle oil, or even something like kitchen cupboard avocado oil works perfectly. In summer, I still can't get behind pastels in my wardrobe or on my extremities. There's something too bridal and conservative about lilac, beige and mauve, at least for my taste and colouring (pale nails make my digits look like rolled mortadella). Sarah Jessica Parker shares my love of bold lacquer in hot weather. She's been wearing black, burgundy and dark emerald green on her fingers and toes throughout summer 2025, and has looked sensational. Personally, I've opted for navy, blood red and sludgy green, rarely matching hands and feet. Truly, I've never received as many compliments on my nail colour as I did when wearing Bio Sculpture's Thornbird (£15.50), a deep Barbour jacket khaki available in traditional and gel formats. I became so attached to my GI Joe fingers and their fanbase that I went into my next pedicure appointment a month later and got the exact same shade on my toes. To keep everything feeling soft and looking smooth in sandals, flip-flops and Birks, I sleep a few times a week in gel heel socks (£6.99 for three pairs from Amazon). No other product offers such long-lasting efficacy for the price. Apply a little body cream before bed, pull on the socks, and wake to marshmallow-soft feet. Just quell any coital ambitions during treatment.

‘This clear fake tan lasts a week and has people asking if I've been on holiday'
Beauty editor Laura Mulley recently tried out this clear dark tanning water and couldn't believe how long it lasted – and the compliments she received on her golden glow In summer, I rely on fake tan when wearing shorts, dresses and T-shirts to give my naturally pale skin some healthy colour. I've got my favourites – Isle Of Paradise Glow Clear Self Tanning Mousse Medium being one – but I'm always keen to try new ones. I'm particularly drawn to finding the best clear fake tans that won't ruin my bedsheets – and here's one that I was super impressed with, and got me lots of compliments. The night before attending a recent Oasis gig I applied Bare by Vogue Clear Tan Water Dark, currently down from £23 to £16.10 at Boots, from the tanning brand founded by TV personality Vogue Williams. A clear water that comes out as a foam, it feels velvety to apply, goes on smoothly and evenly, and dries quickly – and yes, unless it's a particularly hot and sticky night, doesn't come off onto your bedding. Although naturally very pale myself, I braved using the dark shade of tan as I'd tested the medium before and didn't think the colour was strong enough. And actually, when I woke up the next morning, it still wasn't as dark as I expected it to be – in fact, I wondered if anyone would even notice a difference. However, maybe I was imagining it but I felt like the tan continued to develop slightly throughout the day, even after showering, and come mid-afternoon when it was time to get ready for the event, I felt confident wearing my chosen outfit of white shorts and vintage T-shirt. And when I met up with friends, I received compliments on my colour straight away: "You look glowing!" one said. "Have you just come back from holiday?" It wasn't just this response that I was thrilled with, but also how well this tan lasted. Normally I get about three days of good colour before my tan starts to disappear or turn streaky, but this Bare by Vogue formula still looked good on my limbs a week later, and even pushed 10 days. Definitely one to try if you want long-lasting results. My one negative is that it might not be dark enough for those after a very deep colour (I'd say if was more in line with my other 'medium' tans). If you want something ultra-dark, you might want to go for Filter by Molly-Mae Extra Dark Tanning Mousse, £22, or Cocoa Brown 1 HOUR TAN Self Tan Mousse in Extra Dark, currently £6.66. And for when it's time to remove any old remnants of your self tan before applying a fresh layer, our shopping writer Meghan has been really impressed by how well St Moriz Self Tan Removing Foam, £4.99, works. "You'll notice almost immediately that colour starts running off in the water, and it is noticeably lifted from the skin," Meghan says. "With just the water pressure, some areas were already tan-free (though I imagine this happens more if you leave the remover on for longer, as I did) – no scrubbing or exfoliating required."
