Pharmacy moisturizer for dry skin - #28667
I am struggling with my super dry skin lately, like it's crazy. It gets flaky and tight, especially around my elbows and knees. Ugggh, I can’t remember when it started, but I know I need help. I have tried all sorts of lotions and creams, but nothing has worked. My friend suggested using a pharmacy moisturizer for dry skin to see if that might help. The thing is, I went to the pharmacy last week and there were just sooo many options! I picked up a couple but wasn't sure if I was choosing the right ones. Like, is there really a difference between something labeled as a “pharmacy moisturizer for dry skin” and just any old regular lotion? Do I need to look for specific ingredients or something? Like, should I be avoiding certain things? I saw some products with hyaluronic acid and others with glycerin, but I’m not even sure what those mean. Any tips for finding a solid pharmacy moisturizer for dry skin that actually works would be really appreciated! Should I be more concerned about fragrance too? I really don’t want to waste my money again if I’m just going to end up with more flakiness! Thanks!
