Get a tub of this and you're set for months! I use this at the end of my routine (before sunscreen in the am and after lotion in the pm). It's a little thick but absorbs very well.
CeraVe Moisturizing Cream
I loved this and I just haven't had a chance to restock. You put this on after lotion because I tend to do lotion and then cream at nights to lock in the moisture. It's a bit oily when you first apply but it absorbs super fast and works very well!
