Heavy Moisturizing (Cream)

Heavy moisturizing cream is a rich, emollient-rich topical product designed to intensely hydrate and restore severely dry, rough, or flaky skin, often used for conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or winter-induced dryness. It typically contains occlusive agents like petrolatum, shea butter, or dimethicone to lock in moisture, humectants like glycerin to attract water, and sometimes soothing ingredients like ceramides or aloe vera to repair the skin barrier. Applied 1–2 times daily to clean skin, especially after bathing, it alleviates tightness, cracking, and irritation. Its thick texture may feel greasy, making it ideal for nighttime use or on areas like hands, feet, or knees. Consult a dermatologist if irritation persists or for sensitive skin concerns.
