Arbonne Hydrating Body Lotion and Reactivating Body Serum is wonderful for dry skin.  It makes the skin so soft and supple, it is a bit pricey but well worth the money.  :)

The best lotion i have used is St. Ives twenty-four hour restoration. It sure helps me through the winter months however I do apply it two times a day. Morning and night.

I use Vaseline intensive care with Aloe Vera. It does a good job on my dry skin and for my son I still use Johnson and Johnsons cocoa butter. :)

I started using Cerave in April and I really like it. You don't have to use a lot and it spreads really well.

Well I think the best lotion to use is aveno lotion. Aveno works for my dry flaky skin and it doesn't irritate sensitive skin either.

I like lubriderm and vaseline intensive care. Sometime I have to put just a little bit of the actual vaseline jelly on my hands b/c they get so dry and nothing else works for me.

I use the aveeno with oatmeal and it is very good but it is pricey when I don't have the money I will but vaseline with aloe vera and that works as well good luck trying out the products I hope you find the one for you.

Post by: davidh121 on November 24, 2013, 12:19:19 pm
Aveeno is a very trusted brand for dry skin. Gold Bond and St Ives also works for me, but if you're looking for something pretty cheap and still pretty good I've had decent luck with Suave.

I make my own with raw unrefined Shea butter, unrefined coconut oil and grape seed oil. Or I use Everyday Coconut super hydrating lotion. Occasionally I use Shea Moisture raw Shea butter lotion (find that at most drug stores)
I have naturally dry skin.

Avon has a lotion Moister Therapy something that very good and it's not to expensive.

Jergens is the best for me. Neutrogena moisturizer for your face.

I like Jergens Ultra Healing, or as a few others mentioned, cocoa butter.

My son gets really bad eczema and dry skin and I've found that the very best cream which prevents it is Aveeno Baby Soothing Relief Moisture Cream. I also do a lot of washing up so afterwards I apply some to my own hands and it seems to  keep my hands feeling supple and moisturized until I wash my hands again. If I apply some to my sons skin even just once, for the next few days his skin is softer and suppler although it is even better if you keep applying it every day.

I am also glad to see all of these suggestions as I've never been sure what to use.  I'm still not sure but I seem to have a lot of choices.  Now all I need is enough money to buy a few of them.

Oh you and me both. I am still looking for a remedy for my skin during cold weather. My hands are just scaly and not even have regular skin. They feel like a toasted piece of bread. I keep seeing the video for dove lotion but my wife says, she doesn't like dove.

My doctor told me to use Eucerin cream when I had such dry skin after major surgery.

I used Eucerin, too, but ran out right now. It worked great on my leg. Funny, though, the radiology oncologist recommended AquaPhor and gave me samples. I tried it but it blistered over my surgical scar and the area got infected. It took a month to cure the infection and now I have a large brown area where the AquaPhor was originally placed.

My skin is very itchy all year, too, and it drives me nuts. I'm forever scratching myself open, especially on my shoulders, arms, and legs. I used a moisturizing body wash and I'm good for a day, then I start all over again.  :(

both my husband and my 1 year old have eczema really bad.  make sure you dont go with any lotion that has floral scents as it with actually irritate your skin more.  we use gold bond unscented .  it works really good and feels completely different from other lotions its thicker and more creamy.

I find Nivea works well, especially for that area under your nose that gets raw after a cold. Doesn't have that stinging affect.

I also like to use olive oil for very dry skin. My skin absorbs it quickly.

Cornhuskers.  It does incredible things for the skin.  Even my husband will use it and he refuses every other lotion because he says they're greasy!  Men.  I also make my own soap!

The best lotion for dry skin that I have ever seen is Renew Lotion made by Melaleuca.  It has cured many cases of eczema, and outperformed Eucerin in clinical studies.  My daughter's mother-in-law has a terrible skin condition on her hands and has tried everything.  When she used Renew, she said it worked better than anything she had ever tried.

Moisture rich body lotion by clarins is the best darn body lotion hands down...it is pricey but it turns skin into skin...seriously I cannot complain.  Philosophy makes a really good body lotion also.  Night time use is obvious, the daytime who cares... It does while you are sleeping and really works.
