One morning when I was 15 years old and my curly hair was annoying me, I rubbed the strands with olive oil. I've seen this trick on a few blogs, and while the fatty acid-rich formula really softens the dry patches, I failed because I forgot to shampoo them. After putting a drop on vegetable oil one school day and explaining that it smelled and tasted like a strangled rat, I vowed never to touch olive oil as a beauty product again.
I didn't dive into the world of olive oil until I discovered DHC, a Japanese brand with lipid-rich fatty acids in all of their products, and yet I never tasted the oil of glory. Instead, her products leave me feeling soft, radiant, and refreshed. I'm a huge fan of this brand's popular cleansing oil; DHC Virgin Olive Oil Essential Cream is InStyle's official choice for dry skin. I can't wait to get my hands on a bottle, especially before the fall weather hits and my face gets sticky, tight and dry. If you understand this feeling, I suggest taking a jar of cream as well. Available on Amazon for a limited time.

DHC Virgin Olive Oil Essential Cream is an ultra-hydrating, skin-smoothing moisturizer specially formulated for very dry and sensitive skin. Known for using 100% organic Spanish olive oil in its formula, the Japanese beauty brand's moisturizer contains natural fatty acids that will help you look younger over time. What's more, the moisturizer is packed with extra nutrients, ingredients that protect against the frailty that many of us experience, especially during the colder months.
In addition to its main ingredients, dermatologist Dr. Marissa Garczyk told InStyle that it "smooths out the skin." And just like the dermatologist said. Melanie Palm previously shared, "Glycerin is one of those precious moisturizing ingredients that has a long-lasting effect that goes beyond application and absorption." In other words, glycerin provides immediate and long-lasting hydration, thus ensuring the effectiveness of DHC moisturizer.
Esqualeno is also noteworthy in terms of ingredients. Maybe you heard something. Isn't he a superhero who takes care of babies and softens his skin? Dermatologist Dr. According to Mamina Turegano in a previous InStyle report, squalane "has amazing moisturizing properties and supports our skin's water barrier." Additionally, Dr. Turregano shared, "Our skin naturally produces squalene (with an 'e'), but as we age, its production declines." By applying the synthesized version (i.e., squalene) in products like DHC moisturizer, we can help restore skin elasticity that diminishes with age.
DHC was voted best moisturizer for dry skin by InStyle testers; they experimented with them, citing the formula's creamy, thick but quick-absorbing texture and skin coverage. Additionally, one tester said the moisturizer left skin feeling "moisturized" and "like waking up from a deep, restful sleep."
Buyers share the same opinion. For example, one reviewer says it's "thick but not heavy," "leaves skin glowing in the morning," and wakes up "fresh" thanks to the DHC moisturizer. Another buyer with "late-life" and "very dry skin" notes that the moisturizing and hydrating properties are anti-evaporation; on the other hand, the feeling of moisture "long-lasting". Another customer who found this moisturizer at a hotel in Japan swears she "saw instant results" after using it. According to another fan, who has very sensitive skin and has trusted DHC for over a decade, this cream doesn't irritate despite having allergy-prone skin.
