I'm adding this to the topic of WL because since I've lost weight my skin has become even MORE dry on my face, I didn't even think that was possible. I've tried many products from luxury skin creams like "LA MER" ($170 wasted) to Walmart brands. I've tried face peels, microdermabrasion treatments, face masks ect...I have dry flaky skin around my nose, chin, and eyebrows. It's ridiculous! I've been doing research and found these products, both over the counter and both at Walmart. I figured with all the great reviews why not. I've spent a small fortune already. I am so incredibly thankful that I did because I have FINALLY found a product that works!! I'm still amazed! My skin has been flake free for a full month! I have never had a product work so successfully on my skin. Now that winter and cooler weather is upon us I figured I'd share with others who may be a flaky skin sufferer. Here's to flawless winter skin!

I have some of this (but not in the pump), but have mostly been using Palmer's Cocoa Oil and Cocoa Butter.

One of my doctors to me to never get a lotion or moisturizer in a pump because they add drying ingredients (alcohol) that makes the lotion go through the pump. It is good advise.

@@ASUgrad - I'm a makeup gal. I had to create a vanity with filing cabinets to hold all my stuff. However for skin care I find that the more natural and basic something is, the better it works for my skin. I am somehow this weird combination of high maintenance and hippie.

I've been trying to drink more Water. I drank 96 ozs today! Thats the most I've had in one day since surgery. It's all because I've fallin in love with this berry water!! Regular water is to hard for me to drink. This is easy!

cerave for face and aquaphor or eucerin for the body were pharmacists choice while I was in pharmD school

@@Elode I love Cerave. Glad it works for you too....they also make fantastic sunblock, the only kind I will use. Congrats on the increase in Water as well!

CeraVe is what my dermatologist recommended, it is what most derms recommend.

Have you found anything AT ALL that tightens skin (face/neck) even a little? I will check out this cream..sounds good.

A strong TCA peel will make your skin look tighter, but you are going to need a professional one from an esthetician in a dermatologists office, something over 18%.

Clarisionics are really harsh on your face, the brushes have to be replaced and sanitized everyday. I switched from Clarisonic to Foreo Luna and my skin is much happier for it. It is gentle, has different speeds, and you can use it twice a day. It also has nothing that needs to be replaced and the charge lasts 6 months.

If people have skin concerns, go to a dermatologist. They can make suggestions, give you products and they have samples of almost everything. I always leave with a bag of goodies. It is just a specialist co-pay and if you have already met your out of pocket for the year it is free. This is the perfect time of year to book and appointment.

Also, oils are not moisturizers. They just seal moisture. If you put oil on while your skin is still wet, they will seal the moisture in. If you have dry skin you need to moisturize with something that has Water based. Layering a body oil on wet skin then a moisturizing lotion is good for dry skin, especially in the winter.

@@OutsideMatchInside I just went to the dermatologist last month for some eczema I had on my hands. I wasn't thinking about my face at the time. I got a $500 (co-pay $10) cream for my hands that worked perfectly. I even tried it on my face but nothing. I myself don't need to ask about this now because I've found my answer!
