This is the time of year when it feels like winter is lasting forever. Even if it’s not ultra-cold anymore, there’s still a chill in the air, especially at night, and the heat is pumping inside. That can often leave to seriously dry skin. We rounded up the best night cream to help battle those conditions and get your skin in check. You don’t have to deal with dry and dehydrated skin just because it’s winter. There are non-greasy moisturizers to try for hydrating all skin types.

There are a lot of reasons for dry skin. You could be over-cleansing skin or exfoliating and stripping it of its natural oils or you could be taking too-hot showers. It could also be genetic (sorry!) or caused by your skin being out in winter’s tough temperatures. Or maybe you have a skin condition or other health-related issue. (You’ll want to go see a dermatologist for that.) There isn’t one answer and there’s not really one perfect cream either.

Below, there’s a hydrating night cream for everyone. Nighttime moisturizers tend to be heavier because your skin is doing all the work at night. It’s repairing, restoring and regenerating cells. It’s called beauty sleep for a reason. You want the lotion to penetrate deep into your skin for hours while you’re in bed. You know how you wake up and your skin feels soft and supple? Your moisturizer really did its job and you chose the best night cream for you.

You don’t have to spend a million dollars and go ultra-fancy to hydrate dry skin. Shop some of our favorites below, starting at $16.
