I'm a diabetic and have a terrible time with dry skin.My doctors all recommend Eurecin Cream.Wash your skin with a mild soap, pat dry and slather on the Eurecin Cream.It's helped me alot.I use Eurecin lotion during the day but put the heavier cream on at night.My skin may not be baby soft but it's alot better than it was.The original doesn't have much smell to it.
