We are back with some more product recommendations for those of you looking for the best dermatological skin care products for dry skin. All of these products are made by brands with dermatologist, doctor or skin therapist credentials – because of course, we don’t believe in skincare gimmicks and neither should you!
Firstly, if you have dry skin it’s because your skin is not retaining sufficient moisture itself – therefore, investing in products which can aid your skin in retaining more moisture really helps. There are so many causes of dry skin, including frequent bathing, ageing, certain medical conditions, use of harsh soaps, a change in the weather etc. Keeping your skin hydrated and moisturised is one of the most important things we can do as part of any skin care routine. So, choosing a moisturiser which is able to rehydrate the top layer of skin cells and seal in moisture is the first step.
La Roche Posay Nutritic Intense Moisturiser for Dry Skin
Now, often, dry skin can go hand-in-hand with sensitive skin, so for those of you who fall under this category we have the perfect brand for you and that is La Roche Posay. Why? Well, most of their product ranges are literally built for people with this skin type. Incorporating the healing thermal spring waters of La Roche Posay into their hypoallergenic product range has been game-changing for the skin care industry and has really set La Roche Posay apart from the competition – not to mention how affordable their dermatological skin care products are.
For those with super sensitive, dry skin we recommend the Nutritic Intense In-Depth Nutri-Reconstructing Cream, which is rated 4.4 out of 5 stars and has over 196 reviews on Amazon. Infused with their staple Thermal Spring Water, the cream works to comfort and soothe dry skin whilst reducing tightness and helping to reinforce the skin’s natural barrier capacities.
The formula is paraben free, 100% hypoallergenic, contains minimal fragrances and ingredients, is dermatologically tested on sensitive skin and is non-comedogenic (formulated so as not to cause blocked pores). This product is a Dr Skincare favourite, and amazing for male skin, my partner suffers from very cracked, dry and sensitive skin and using this product has really made a difference to his skin (a full post on this will follow).
To use this dermatological skincare product, apply a moderate amount over the full face area after cleansing every morning and evening. Avoid contact with your eyes.
If you have dry, sensitive skin then we believe this is the moisturiser for you. Not harsh on the skin, and certainly not harsh on the pocket – what more could you want from a dermatological skin care product?! You can purchase via the link below using your Amazon Prime account for super quick next day delivery… don’t wait a second longer to tackle that dry skin!
La Roche Posay Hydraphase Intense Hydrating Serum for Dry Skin
Another fantastic product which can be paired and used in conjunction with the Nutritic Intense Moisturiser is the La Roche Posay Hydraphase Intense Hydrating Serum. I am currently using this specific Serum as part of both morning and nightly skin care routines because of how amazing this product is.
As tackling dry skin is all about rehydrating the top layer of skin cells and sealing in that moisture, this serum is literally for this specific purpose, the hydraphase serum works to enhance the skin’s capacity to infuse and retain water for optimal hydration. Again, infused with their famous Thermal Spring Water, this serum is fast-absorbing, non-greasy and simply melts on to the skin. The main active ingredient in the serum is hyaluronic acid which is an extremely effective hydrator for those with dry skin. And as with all La Roche Posay Products, the intense Hydrating Serum is hypoallergenic, dermatologically tested and tested on sensitive skin.
Another fantastic example of dermatological skin care products which actually do what they say on the outside. I’ve been using this serum daily and nightly (not as someone with dry skin but as someone who wants to focus on hydration) and honestly, wow; the formula is weightless and soaks into the skin effortlessly.
To use the serum, apply daily, morning and evening to your face and under your normal skin care products i.e., use underneath the Nutritic Intense Moisturiser as suggested above! As always, avoid contact with the eyes.
Dr Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum
Now, we give you luxury hydration from the Queen herself, Dr Barbara Sturm. The Saint of Serums had to feature on this list because if anyone knows how to do hydration, it’s Dr Sturm – have you seen her skin?! But on a serious note, if you are looking for a brand who is credible, classy and capable of revolutionising your skin care then look no further. Used by more A-Listers than we can count, Dr Barbara Sturm’s Hyaluronic Serum is perfect for those with dry skin.
The Dr Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum is supercharged with both long-chain and short-chain hyaluronic molecules, which result in instant hydration for the skin. These long and short-chain molecules work in the short and and long-term to refresh the skin and prevent dehydration.
After use, the skin is plumper, fine lines and the formation of wrinkles are physically reduced. Dr Sturm’s favourite anti-ageing, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory botanical Purslane is a key ingredient within the serum. As a whole, there are only 8-9 ingredients added to the serum in total, so you know this product is of the highest quality.
To use the serum, use one pipette, putting this onto the palm of your hand and apply it gently over the skin, patting it into the face gently to aid absorption. Use in conjunction with your other skin care favourites.
