I have very dry skin due to my environment and other factors. I have found that moisturizer alone doesn't help. Picking a moisturizing cleanser with the right PH, a moisturizing toner, essence, oil, and then if you want you can add serums, and then moisturizer and sunscreen.

Re: Best Moisturizers for dry skin!!!!

If you skin needs some serious moisture, try out First Aid Beauty's Ultra Repair Cream or Dr. Jart's Ceramidin cream in the morning and before bed. As a bonus, you can also try out some sleeping masks: Laneige's Water Sleeping Mask, Korres Wild Rose Sleeping Facial, or Glamglow's Thirsty Mud. Sheet masks are also a great choice. Ingredients like Vitamin E will also help combat the dryness in your skin. When I had terrible dryness 4 years ago, I was using a Vitamin E oil from The Body Shop and that helped eliminate dry patches and the flaky forehead I had. If your face wash is drying you out, I also suggest trying Korres Greek Yogurt cleanser which will be gentle on your skin.

I started using La Mer last winter and it changed my skin! It is pretty expensive, so I usually buy a little one and put it on dry areas, and my whole face twice a week to make the product last longer. When I don't use La Mer, I use the Fresh deep moisturizing rose product, works pretty well.

Drunk Elephant Lala Whipped!!! So moisturizing without the greasy look!

I should say that a moisturizer alone cannot solve our dry skin problems. Based on my experience, as someone who lives in the driest part of Canada, adding few more skin care routine steps is VERY helpful. I have added essence, serum, face mask. Pick alcohol-free products (I know it's hard). I find Korean skincare products amazing - AMAZING. Hope this helps!

Re: RE: Best Moisturizers for dry skin!!!!

I totally agree! My dry patches didn't start getting better until I added a gentle toner and serum to the routine - toner to clear dead cells before adding moisture.

I have combination skin that varies between extremes throughout the year. I find Farmacy products to be pretty emollient. I recently picked up the honey drop moisturizer recently and love this! It is great for when my skin needs tgat extra bit of moisture. I also think the night balm would be really great for someone with dry skin. For a combination girl thougg, it leaves my skin a bit more on the oily side 😞

I love Loccitane light comforting cream for the day and Laneige water bank moisturizing cream for night

Re: Best Moisturizers for dry skin!!!!

@crystaldao I swear by CeraVe PM for daily use.  When I need something extra, I reach for my Clinique Smart Treatment Oil.  Good luck!  I'm sure you will find that works for you soon enough!

Re: Best Moisturizers for dry skin!!!!

I have struggled with dry skin for as long as I can remember. A few of my favorite things as of late are: 

- Tatcha Dewy Skin Mist: I just started using this about a month ago. I give my face one spray right after I was my face and wow, what a difference. I am actually so shocked that I can see visible improvement in my skins hydration. 

- Sunday Riley Tidal: Love this because of the Hyaluronic acid in it. Its wonderful. Favorite way to apply is to day a large pea sized amount on my face, dampen my fingers in warm water (or spray my LUSH rose toner all over) and massage it into my face. 

- Algenist Absolute Hydration Sleeping Pack: one word, AMAZING. 

- Tatcha Dewy Skin Concentrate: Just started using it and surprised at how well it works. Haven't used it long enough to know if it will stick around. But so far, really enjoying it. 

 

A few others are: PTR Water Drench Moisturizer, PTR Mega Rich Cream, any overnight sleeping pack and I am obsessed with the Dr. Jart+ Water Replenishment Mask ❤️ 

 

 

Hope this helps!

If you're SUPER dry then try kiehls ultra facial oil-free gel moisturizer and if you're just moderately dry then try the kiehls ultra facial oil-free lotion moisturizer

RE: Best Moisturizers for dry skin!!!!

#vanhc319 I haven't tried to use Keihls before. But I felt like I had have to use it for my skin and I appreciated you help!!!!

RE: Best Moisturizers for dry skin!!!!

I suggest the FAB Ultra Repair Cream or the Drunk Elephant Lala Retro. The Drunk Elephant one is a bit thicker so you might like it more for nighttime but the FAB one is great for day and night

RE: Best Moisturizers for dry skin!!!!

#AlexisApplejack nice 👍 I will have to try it out. Thank you so much

Re: Best Moisturizers for dry skin!!!!

Lancome, Clinique or First Aid Beauty

What really helped me were essentials oils. (Avocado, Apricot, or Rose Hip Oil)

RE: Re: Best Moisturizers for dry skin!!!!

#MRDZ21 I have tried Lancome and Clinique but after few weeks then my skin was just starting to get dry again :((

RE: Best Moisturizers for dry skin!!!!

PTR Water Drench Cream or Fresh Seaberry Oil are both great options.

#Chantee91 Thank you so much!!!! I'll try it out

Re: Best Moisturizers for dry skin!!!!

Oh man I have dry skin too and I am already bracing myself for winter lol. Have you tried the First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair cream yet? https://www.sephora.com/product/ultra-repair-cream-intense-hydration-P248407?skuId=1217744&icid2=fir...

It is so moisturizing! When my skin can't find relief I always go back to this product.

 

Also, have you tried adding oils to your routine?  

 

 

RE: Re: Best Moisturizers for dry skin!!!!

#Mcakes That's why I am so worried about. Since the winter is coming and even though summer is just over I already have my facial skin and my hands are so dry. But thank you so much for your help I will try this out and I hope that you and I will have a great hydrates winter!!!! 😋😋
