When people ask me for body care recommendations, Soft Services is my go-to referral; whatever their issue, the brand has a solution. I’m a fan of many of its products (Comfort Cleanse Soothing Shower Gel is my favorite child) and after a quick scan through its product reviews, it’s clear that shoppers are entranced, too. One of its most-loved products is its Carea Cream Daily Softening Body Lotion, which is finally back in stock after being sold out for a few months.
The Carea Cream has the benefits of a serum and rich body butter wrapped into a lightweight, quick-absorbing lotion. It targets rough skin texture, hydration (both short- and long-term), barrier strength, and dull skin thanks to three hero ingredients.
The first two, squalane and colloidal oatmeal, are commonplace with benefits that include soothed skin, replenished moisture, and reduced inflammation. I was unfamiliar with the third ingredient, urea — a protein byproduct your skin naturally produces — until trying the Carea Cream, which seems like a missed opportunity for many products considering its plethora of benefits. Among them: gentle exfoliating, moisture-preserving, and skin barrier-strengthening properties.
The cream is a neat hat trick that pays off, according to dozens of five-star reviewers. A 39-year-old shopper with “super dry skin and Keratosis Pilaris (KP)” wrote, “My skin is immediately softer and smoother after applying Carea Cream and it remains soft into the next day.” Despite the super moisturizing properties praised by many shoppers, it absorbs instantly. “I can put sweats on right away and not worry about it rubbing off,” one shopper wrote. Lastly, its exfoliating properties are not to be overlooked. Another person with “bumps on [their] legs, bum, and bikini line” was “amazed at the difference” Soft Service’s Carea Cream made.
Head to Soft Services to shop its Carea Cream Daily Softening Body Lotion now that it’s finally back in stock.
