The best lotions don’t have to cost an arm and a leg; in fact, I’ve found that these 5 body lotions under $10 work just as well, if not better, than more expensive brands. If you’re tired of spending a fortune on body lotion, why not give one of these budget-friendly picks a try?
1. Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Butter Extra Rich Cream
This intensive cream hydrates dry skin with a potent combination of cocoa butter, petroleum jelly and Vitamin E. Even the most dry skin will benefit from this rich cream. It soaks in instantly and leaves behind a healthy glow, and smells great to boot! I like to smooth it on immediately after a shower for soft, supple skin that lasts all day.
($4.29, Drugstores)
2. St. Ives Advanced Body Moisturizer, Oatmeal & Shea Butter
I adore St. Ives; I’ve been using their products off and on since my childhood, and they remain a tried-and-true brand to this day. Their Oatmeal & Shea Butter body lotion is not only budget-friendly, but exceptionally moisturizing as well. Oatmeal helps soothe dry, itchy skin while the shea butter penetrates deeply for hydrated skin that lasts all day. Plus, it’s formulated with 100% natural moisturizers and is non-irritating!

3. Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Lotion
Developed by dermatologists, Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Lotion is a non-greasy body lotion formulated with Vitamins E & B5, as well as skin essential lipids, works to restore a healthy balance to dry, dull skin. This lotion has been clinically proven to hydrate dry skin for 24 hours, and within one week even extra-dry skin is healthy and more resilient.

Dry, uncomfortable skin will be banished instantly with this intensive lotion from Neutrogena. With a unique glycerin-rich complex, this body treatment wraps skin in hydration without feeling heavy or greasy like other lotions can.
