Look for a cream that isn't greasy, comes fragrance free and works on face, hands and body. Corium 21 is an aloe vera skin cream for dry skin, with certified organic aloe vera as its first ingredient. It is made for face and body, including hands, feet and lips, and comes in Fragrance Free.

What should you look for in a moisturizer for an older parent?
When skin feels dry every day, the right moisturizer is one they will actually enjoy using. Look for these four things.
A cream that isn't greasy. It should soak in, so hands are free for a book, a phone or a cup of coffee right after. Corium 21 absorbs well and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
A fragrance free choice. Corium 21 Fragrance Free is the same formula as Classic with the fragrance left out, so nothing competes with a favorite perfume or soap.
One jar for face, hands and body. One cream for the face, hands, elbows, legs and feet keeps the routine simple and the bathroom counter clear.
Ingredients worth having. Corium 21 starts with certified organic aloe vera, then adds vitamins A, B3 and E, soluble collagen, plant oils, and green tea, chamomile and ginseng extracts. The result leaves dry, rough skin feeling softer and smoother.
Is a pump easier?
For many families, yes. Both the Quart and the Gallon come with a pump, so you can press out just the right amount and refill your smaller jars from it.
Keep the pump by the bathroom sink and an 8 oz jar by the bed or a favorite chair. That way the cream is always within reach, in every room where dry skin gets noticed.
What is a simple daily routine for dry skin?
- After bathing. Pat skin dry with a soft towel, then smooth Corium 21 over arms, legs and feet while skin is still a little damp.
- Face, morning and night. After washing, smooth it over the face and neck.
- Hands after every wash. A jar by the kitchen sink makes this one easy to remember.
- Bedtime. Hands, elbows and heels get one more pass before sleep.
The label says it plainly: "Apply generously as needed." For more ideas, read how to use aloe vera cream.
Is Corium 21 a good gift for a parent or grandparent?
It's a gift they will reach for every day, long after the wrapping paper is gone. Choose Classic if they like a scent, or Fragrance Free if they would rather skip it. For more gift ideas, see a gift for someone who works with their hands.
