A lot of beauty products abound the market today and we often end up confused on what to choose. Here are some great tried-and-tested deep moisturizing creams that are not only effective but have the thumbs up from users as well.

Clinique Moisture Surge Extra Thirsty Skin Relief ($31 for 1.7 oz) – It is designed to be an intensely hydrating and refreshing moisturizer for all types of all ages. It is recommended to use over or under make-up or as a 5-minute mask to firm, smoothen, and lessen dry lines without that "tight" feeling. Its users swear by its versatility, working well on moisturizing dry winter skin as well as on sun-dried summer skin. However, there were cases of occasional breakout, which can be solved by applying less of the product.

Crème de la Mer ($220 for 2 oz) – Developed by NASA scientist Max Huber over 30 years ago, it combines sea kelp, vitamins, and minerals though a unique 3-4 month long biofermentation process. This cream makes the skin look and feel softer, firmer, and virtually crease-free. Aging lines and pores are noticeably less visible, the driest of complexions are healed, sensitivities are soothed, and blemish scars are reduced. Users swear by the product, calling it a "miracle in a bottle." However, this product is recommended for the driest of skin, as those with normal to combination skin may find this a little to rich, and may cause breakouts in some cases. And yes, the price turned some consumers off.

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion ($4.75 for 8.5 oz) – Claims to be an excellent all-over-the-body moisturizer and after tanning butter. Users recommend this product, very effective for both dry and normal skin. It also prevents wrinkles with regular use, and it smells refreshing.

Elizabeth Arden 8-Hour Cream ($24.50 for 2.5 oz) – It claims to be for all skin types. A classic Elizabeth Arden product that protects and helps heal chapped, cracked dry skin, while providing anti-inflammatory benefits. It claims to soothe and comforts minor weather burns, scrapes or abrasions, and protects against environmental damage and fights free radicals. This unique cream also smoothens rough spots on the feet and anywhere on the body, and is also an excellent cuticle and hangnail softener.

Burt’s Bees Wax Moisturizing Night Creme ($12 for 1oz) – An all-natural product that renews and replenishes your skin. It’s a super-saturated emollient cream for skin that needs a rich formula. Full of almond oil to moisturize and beeswax to lock in the moisture. This night cream can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while you sleep. Although users find its smell "funky," they swear on its effectiveness.
