Husband and daughter get terrible seasonal eczema, and our dr friend brought this from his hospital and it’s truly stellar.
Made a dif when NOTHING else had!
Healed up the deep dry cracking, good protective layer, no weird texture or smell and absorbs excellently.

I have elsewhere heard this mentioned as an amazing choice for recalcitrant dry skin, yeah.

Your intern has been using the Naturium for a couple of years and love it. I'm a Vaseline topped with a thin layer of Cera Ve in the tub without the pump. It locks in the moisture and makes the Cera Ve last.

As you know, I am both extremely dry and not great for remembering to lotion, so take this as you will: I LOVE all the Gold Bond lotions, especially the Healing with aloe. I think I have all of them and the feet ones are good, too, but not the whole body. You might find Pure Moisture is enough 4U.

I use Cerave for my face; the CVS version gave me zits. I use Aquaphor for my body.

I like baby lotion, TBH.

I use the heavy-duty Eucerin with 10% urea, as recommended by my dermatologist, and I have finally seen a measurable reduction in the keratosis pilaris, which is awesome.

Gold Bond Healing when I need something heavier, but I usually just use it on hands and feet. I’m in a humid environment and prefer something lighter usually: Neutrogena’s Fragrance-Free Body Oil on damp skin right out of the shower. One of my cats likes to furiously lick my forearm after, though. 😆

PS I'm also using what it turns out is CVS imitation of Cerave face when I'm not using an SPF moisturizer. It's doing right by me in this winter weather, thank goodness.

I think I'm the only person alive who is unimpressed by Cerave. The lotion is too thin, the cream is too thick, and it seems to do the absolute minimum on my skin.

coreopsismajor.bsky.social•51 days ago

Oh I needed the lotion to be that thin, I think it's trying to grab the part of the market that wants that. It's kind of a relief when I can use it because I _prefer_ something that is that light.

I used to hate a skin cream I could feel, but perimenopause skin itch has changed my skin so much. I still don't love the sensory experience of buttering myself like toast, but if I don't, I scratch myself silly.

coreopsismajor.bsky.social•51 days ago

Yeah, then you need thicker, huh. I imagine I will be there eventually.

mostlymartha.bsky.social•51 days ago

I remember my mom scratching like a dog with a flea problem, and now it's my turn.

Palmer's cocoa butter formula lotion, in the 33.8 fluid ounce bottle I bought that will last for YEARS, because the smell is a calming trigger for me. I go direct to the container of aquaphor or the tub of petroleum jelly if anything gets real bad tho.

I use Aveeno Eczema Therapy Daily Moisturizing Cream for upper body and then bio oil on my legs.

cetaphil the second i get out of the shower and dry off - like the bottle is right by the bath mat. a little avocado oil before that in the depths of winter but got to seal it in with lotion immediately afterwards

For face/neck: Laniege (decided to splurge on a set of different products to try). I’m at that age where my skin can’t decide if it wants wrinkles or pimples or both.

For body: Kikiz Cosmetics. Her body butters are amazing. She’s got one that’s a dupe for the VS Love Spell scent.
