I have extremely dry skin because of a genetic inheritance...lucky me. The best I have tried is what I think is an Australian product called Derma Drate, made by Dermatech laboratories. If you can't get that one, the next best thing is Urea cream or a product with that ingredient in it. Sorbolene cream and aqueous cream are useful, but you need to keep applying them. I have also found Manuka honey cream from New Zealand very good. Hope this is useful advice. I found it hard to get stuff that worked when I lived overseas.
