My holy grail product for DRY skin!

[AllisonK1986 68]

My dermatologist told me to use Eucerin moisturizer and that has saved my life! Someone asked about lotions that tighten and firm? I'm using Nivea's coq10 firming lotion and Dollar trees coca butter with elastin. I've been doing those two on my breast's and stomach and inner thighs where I have the most loose skin and stretch marks for a week now and I've already begun to notice a huge difference!!

I am still pre op and have my surgery next month, so I'm trying to get on the roll early.

Also, another great item for dry skin and stretch marks is Vitamin E ointment from GNC. It contains pure Vitamin E, Wheat Germ, and Aloe Vera and it works great. And none of these items I mentioned above have a weird smell.

Thanks for the CeraVe recommendation- I will definitely check it out! I'm always looking for a good moisturizer. My whole body tends to get dry and itchy during the winter. Yuck.

I use "Vivite Replenish Hydrating Cream" on my face. It is amazing! I used to have super-dry, flaky skin on my face nothing seemed to touch. My dermatologist recommended the Vivite, and my face is now completely different- so smooth and healthy-looking. I can almost feel my skin cells sucking in the moisture when I put it on. The directions say to use it along with your regular moisturizer, but it is all I use on my face. It is a bit pricy (I get mine on Amazon for about 1/2 the price my dermatologist sells it for), but one little tub of it lasts me about 6 months.

I WOULD LIKE TO ADD THAT NIVEA EXTENDED MOISTURE - 48 HOUR - IS AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING LOTION THAT I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR FOR OVER A DECADE. IT'S THE ONLY THING THAT ACTUALLY WORKS AND KEEPS WORKING.

TRY IT!

Cereve was the only thing that worked on my son's eczema when he was a baby (pediatrician recommended). It's great!
