Pyunkang Yul Moisture Cream
Blast of relief, here. Like a little waterbed wrapped in flannel sheets for your face.
Laboratories Embryolisse Lait Creme Sensitive
Specifically formulated to "soothe, nourish and moisturize easily damaged skin which reacts to the tiniest trigger, and needs the most tender care." And it does! Tackier texture, but great under concealer (or mixed with it, for that matter). Instant relief.
Eau Thermale Avène Tolerance Control Soothing Skin Recovery Balm
I love how this one sits on the skin—light but nourishing.
COSRX Balancium Comfort Ceramide Cream Mist
I did not believe in mists, or at least believe they'd do anything at all to help my red dry skin, until this one. Now my mom and my sister own one and I carry it always in my purse.

This brand is seriously amazing for it. I've seen it in Target / Ulta etc but you can also order on Amazon.
Look into the following from them
- Lipikar AP+ Triple Repair Moisturizing Cream (this stuff is great and can be used on your body and face)
- Lipikar AP+ Gentle Foaming Facial Wash
- Lipikar AP + Gentle Foaming Cleansing Oil
- Toleriane Hydrating Gentle Face Cleanser (I'd compare the three cleansers and see which one is best for you)
- Cicaplast Balm B5
- Toleriane Double Repair Face Moisturizer
Another great moisturizer that has done wonders in repairing my skin barrier was the CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (the one in the 1.19 lb jug that's blue and white in packaging) - this is also great on the body!
also not to be super annoying but water intake is super important too! staying hydrated will keep your skin hydrated! & a good excuse for a cute water bottle. :) I aim for 80-100 oz / day.
Good luck!! xx

- weleda skin food (smells incredible and one of the only things that locks in moisture during extremely dry weather
- pixi glow tonic (gentle chemical exfoliant p good as a toner for dull skin)
- the ordinary buffet (I think it has a new name now - peptides and hyaluronic acid, great for retaining moisture and smoothness)
there’s this line called Byoma that I also really like and have been using daily
