Trader Joe’s Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion

EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2026. 

Trader Joe’s, which is a distant cousin to Aldi, has a nice selection of personal care products. In fact, in some ways, I like the TJ’s personal care product aisle more than I like the personal care aisle at Aldi.

Friend and fellow Aldi Reviewer writer Elizabeth clued me in to how good many of the personal care items at Trader Joe’s are. In recent years, I’ve become a fan of TJ’s daily facial sunscreen, face and body sunscreen lotion, shampoo and conditioner, and Formula No. 3 Shampoo, Conditioner, and Body Wash.

One of my favorites from Trader Joe’s that I use daily is a moisturizing face lotion with sun protection. I’ve used moisturizer on my face and neck every morning for years, and I prefer it to have some SPF. This TJ’s lotion fits the bill.

Trader Joe’s Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion cost $4.49 for a 4-ounce bottle in 2026. That’s the same price I paid for it when I first reviewed it in 2023. It comes out to about $1.12 per ounce.

Here’s more information about this face lotion:

• Broad spectrum UVA/UBB protection with SPF 15
• Fragrance free
• For all skin types
• Light and non-greasy
• Enriched with Vitamins A, C, and E
• PABA free
• Non-comedogenic (does not clog pores)
• Cruelty free

Active ingredients are octinoxate (6%) and zinc oxide (3%), both of which act as sunscreens.

The back of the bottle directs you to apply liberally on the face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure and reapply at least every two hours. If you’re swimming or sweating, use a water-resistant sunscreen instead.

I’ve been using this for at least three or four years now as a daily moisturizer in the mornings after showering. It works as well as other name brands I’ve used, and for a fraction of the cost. It isn’t greasy, doesn’t make me break out, and absorbs into my skin well. It’s good not just for the face, but also the neck and the upper chest or décolletage area … anywhere you want to moisturize and add some sun protection. It’s also great to rub into my hands — especially on the tops — for some sun protection and moisture as well.

The Verdict:

Trader Joe’s Enrich Moisturizing Face Lotion is a good facial moisturizer option, and it has a broad spectrum SPF 15 rating for sun protection. It’s great to use on its own or under makeup. It isn’t greasy and goes on light. It’s also fragrance free. We think it works as well as a lot of name brands, and it costs a lot less.
