Who buys it, and why
Moisturizing cream refers to thick creams for the face and body that hydrate dry skin, and in these searches mostly to drugstore staples such as CeraVe, Vanicream, Cetaphil and Aveeno, plus prestige creams like La Mer. People search it to find a cream by brand, for the face or for very dry skin. In practice, it is a repeat purchase bought by people with dry or sensitive skin and eczema. The category is crowded and dominated by dermatologist-recommended brands. Openings lie in niche skin needs, refills, men's lines and comparison content.
