| My skin is parched this winter. Any recommendations? Prefer cruelty free, phthalate free…all that good stuff. Drugstore brand preferred. |
| I use Burt's Bees intense hydration- it's the only one I've found that actually soaks into my skin in winter. |
| I hate to say it, but La Mer is the only thing that deeply hydrates my sensitive dry skin in the winter. I tried to find a cheaper alternative but nothing works as well. |
| Cerave PM with a thin layer of Aquaphor on top. |
| Avene tolerance masque. It can be used as a mask or left on as a heavy moisturizer . I leave it on all night. |
| Skinceuticals triple lipid repair. It’s the only moisturizer that helps me with the irritation of retinol. |
+1 for the Cerave, but also add a humidifier to your bedroom at this time of year - this really helped me. |
| When I restarted tret after taking a year long pause, I started using The Ordinary Squalane oil over a moisturizer that just wasn't cutting it, and it was a game changer. Never peeled in the beginning, and still going strong. |
| Vanicream lotion |

I love tatcha's Indigo Overnight Repair. It's a "serum in cream"

NP, trust me, this is the one to get. |
| Illiyoon ceramide concentrate cream has been helping me. |
The squalene goes on top of the moisturizer? |
+3. It’s way more expensive than the drugstore brand OP prefers, but I’m convinced it’s the best moisturizer on the market. |
