Dry Skin?

Diprobase - What the Dermatologist prescribed for me

Curamid - Ditto - this is "stronger" than Diprobase and contains Lactic Acid and Urea. Better for areas of hyperkeratosis (heels / balls of feet, for example).

Splendid - I'll go and find some!

Erm

You can't use either on your face? Just a "Simple" moisturiser will suffice.

You can with Diprobase, you just have to avoid getting it in your eye like any other moisturiser. You can even use it as a soap substitute.

You can use it anywhere, but it is extremely viscous and waxy...I would suggest a "Simple" fragrance free light moisturiser, unless prescribed for facial use.

I use basic E45 moisturiser for face and hands. Expensive stuff brings me out in unattractive blotches.

I suffer from Rosacea so use antibiotic gel twice a day plus E45 cream. Thanks for the Diprobase recommendation, I'll give it a try.

WTS. Suggesting prescription medicine for a bit of dry skin is like suggesting Codeine for someone who pulled a muscle "because it's stronger". If the basic stuff doesn't work, then go see a doctor or something, but E45 is a good call.
