I've Never Been A Body Cream Person—But Consider Me Converted by These 11 Fast-Absorbing Finds
- Soft texture, sinks in fast without greasiness

- Scent is divisive

How We Tested the Best Body Creams
I spent the past few months testing some of the most talked-about and highly-rated body creams—from budget-friendly finds to luxurious formulas loved by dermatologists. I tried over 40 different products paying close attention to texture, absorption, scent and how well each one delivered on promises like deep hydration, smoothing rough patches, firming, and improving long-term skin health.
I also spoke with my fellow beauty editors to get their expert takes on the best body moisturisers out there—and, unsurprisingly, their go-to picks were already on my list. After applying these creams from head to toe, post-shower, before bed, and everything in between, I'm confident this list highlights the best body creams for just about every skin type, concern, and budget.
