What skin care products are excellent for very dry, scratchy skin?
I have tried many shampoos, bath soaps and creams, but have yet to find something that really works for me. I think it is in winter (of course), my skin is very dry and itchy skin should be – what can I facilitate this? Is the product should I use or care could follow that could help? Thank you for your advice!

Aveeno products are the best for eveything, except acne.

I have eczema and I use:
-Hydrocortisone (0.5%) which is prescription, for my face.
-Betamethasone valerate cream which is prescription too, for body (it’s stronger).
-Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula for everyday use (you can get it anywhere)
-Dermol 200 Shower Emollient.
IMO, these are the best.
Hope I’ve helped you (:

Sanex body wash is brilliant.

For face Roc is really good, its made for people with excema or psoriasis, so cleanser, toner and face cream each morning or night, You may also want to get an emoillent face scrub to use a few times a week
-also get a humidifer in your bedroom-not sure if you live in a cold climate like I do but that really helps bc the furnace drys your skin out like crazy and then going in the cold weather doesnt help
-for body, I like dove cream to oil body wash and using a glove exfoliater helps get rid of the dead skin so the lotions can do their job, i find that putting Baby Oil Gel or just baby oil on while im almost finshed my shower works and/or then a body cream with lactic acid in it
-change the detergent that you use to wash your clothes to something really gentle like Ivory, Tide is the worst especially for bath towels, bc there is still traces of it on the towel and when you dry yourself off after a shower your body heat almost reactivates it and it leaves a film on your skin
