I'm adding this to the topic of WL because since I've lost weight my skin has become even MORE dry on my face, I didn't even think that was possible. I've tried many products from luxury skin creams like "LA MER" ($170 wasted, I was desperate) to Walmart brands. I've tried face peels, microdermabrasion treatments, face masks ect...I have dry flaky skin around my nose, chin, and eyebrows. It's ridiculous! I've been doing research and found these products, both over the counter and both at Walmart. I figured with all the great reviews why not. I've spent a small fortune already. I am so incredibly thankful that I did because I have FINALLY found a product that works!! I'm still amazed! My skin has been flake free for a full month! I have never had a product work so successfully on my skin. Now that winter and cooler weather is upon us I figured I'd share with others who may be a flaky skin sufferer. Here's to flawless winter skin!

Have you found anything AT ALL that tightens skin (face/neck) even a little? I will check out this cream..sounds good.

My dermatologist recommended CERAVE years ago. I also swear by it on my face and body. I use the moisturizing cream daily.

@@Margie122 No, I've never looked for anything like that. I don't need it just yet. My only problem has been super dry,itchy , flaky skin on my face which is bad enough! It's taken me years to find this!

@@thisfathasgot2go I'm obsessed! I got the one for extra dry skin and it worked like a charm! Just goes to show you don't have to spend a fortune to get results!

@@Elode Yes, I was a former flaky face too, but not with CERAVE. Life changing!

Oh and that was a lie I have more than one skin issue. My face breaks out with a couple pimples like a teenage girl when aunt "flo" comes to visit.....every freaking time!

They don't exist. Don't waste your money on any product no matter how fancy that promises that they do. Skin elasticity depends mostly on genetics and how well we moisturize. I am seemingly part crocodile. The only things that work on my skin are oils. I use cold pressed organic coconut oil (typically Dr. Bronners or Spectrum brands)on my face and Johnson's baby oil gel on my body Everything else gets immediately absorbed and my skin will be dry and itchy.

Try making a scrub with kosher salt and coconut oil. Use it every night before bed, rinse off then moisturize as usual.

@@BLERDgirl I will try that. Before I found this I was doing a honey/coconut/olive oil scrub. It only worked for a couple hours then right back to flakesville.

My husband is AA and he suffers with dry skin also, not as bad as mine but he's loving this stuff too. And no girly smells. Ha!

@@Elode - you could try moisturizing with straight coconut oil at night but many people don't like sleep with that much oil on their face. You could also go gentler and use a daily facial scrubber like one of the clarisonics. I absolutely swear by my claisonic mia.

@@BLERDgirl I have the Mia 2 also! QVC special last year!

I figured skin tightening products were a figment of my imagination. I will just need to make sure I moisturize well. ????

@@Margie122 I've never had much hope for them. I just take preventative measures. Age is going to happen. There's always a face lift.
