An ELLE editor says: “As much as I love smelling good, from body wash to lotions to perfumes, my skin does not love anything too fragrant. Do I take heed to the cluster of bumps that form every time I douse my body in the best smelling body washes? Not really, which means I have to put in overtime to reverse the irritation. My savior is this hydrating formula by CeraVe. It’s gentle enough for daily use and doesn’t leave my skin feeling stripped or dry.”—Nerisha Penrose, ELLE.com beauty commerce editor
