As we welcome the winter, we also welcome dry skin.
Although some people may experience dull and cracked skin throughout the year (myself included), now is the best time to invest in a new skin care routine.
First, you will develop a regular ceremony before the new year. Not to mention, the 50 products on this list have been thoroughly tested and are miraculous formulas for my dry skin.
I have been testing products for many years, and to be honest, there is a whole set of product carts in my bathroom dedicated to facial cleansers, serums, moisturizers, etc.
Essentially, I have put almost all the top brands from Alpyn Beauty to Youth to People in a calendar-driven cycle. Thank you very much for my color-coded Google calendar and note-taking applications.
As far as I can remember, my skin has been dry. I have visited a dermatologist many times to try to cure it. I didn't notice any obvious flaky improvement in my skin until I used these products regularly.
In other words, you can rest assured that all preferred products are actually worth buying. We know that skin care products can sometimes be expensive. But hey, even if you want to start with quality cleansers and cloud-like moisturizers, your skin will still thank you.
Below, find the 50 best skin care products for dry skin that we reviewed. They did make my skin bounce and glow-and have since eliminated the itchy and thirsty skin I once had.

I can only say wow. Korres' Greek yogurt nourishing probiotic gel cream has a heavenly subtle almond paste fragrance that calms, invigorates and replenishes your skin. This is pure magic, TBH.
Alpyn Beauty is one of my favorite cleansing and beauty brands, and its PlantGenius Melt Moisturizer is an excellent product. Infused with hyaluronic acid for refreshing, squalane hydrating and bakuchiol for fine lines, this is one of my favorites to apply twice a day.
To be honest, with Alpyn Beauty's Triple-C Brightening Bouncing Cream, your skin will bounce. This reminds me of Maybelline’s Dream Bouncy Blushes (RIP), this aloe vera-rich cream — including bitter cherries — always make my skin glow every time I use it.
If you want a cream for night use, then CeraVe's Skin Renewing Night Cream can't go wrong. I have been using it for several months. It is a superstar product recommended by dermatologists. It contains three essential ceramides.
Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream Moisturizer may be a $100 splurge-but in this respect it is a good choice. In addition to the gorgeous packaging, it also contains hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamins C and E, aloe vera, rosehip oil and a lot of other skin moisturizing ingredients.
If you are looking for a velvety moisturizer, Lala Retro Whipped Moisturizer from Drunk Elephant is your best choice. It is aimed at dull skin, infused with six African oils, and has the sweetest texture you must experience.
Know my favorite for many years. First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Repair Cream truly provides powerful moisturizing. I have inspired some relatives to try it (including my boyfriend), it is especially suitable for eczema and sensitive skin types.
Glow Recipe's Banana Souffle Moisturizing Cream has a tangy fragrance and an eye-catching expression on the skin. It can immediately take you to your favorite bakery, where the banana scones and pastries are freshly baked.
And, just like the banana in the morning smoothie, this cream is rich in potassium and magnesium—and so is turmeric—to enhance the appearance of the skin.
TikToker Addison Rae knew what she was doing when planning ITEM Beauty's intensive moisturizer for dry skin. We reviewed most of the products in her beauty line, but this is a neat choice, moisturizing and great for travel.
Laneige's popular lip sleep mask has some competition with the brand's reservoir moisturizer. Implying a truly intense spa atmosphere, it is powered by antioxidants and super green plant extracts (artichoke, Brussels sprouts and lima beans) to provide a smooth-feeling formula.
Moreover, if the idea of green plants in your skin care products worries you, Lange’s formula contains almost no fragrance.
Jergens Ultra Healing Dry Skin Moisturizer is a bottle sold in a drugstore. I will get it every time I shower. It is an explosive for my sensitive and dry skin. Moreover, it is less than $10.
Following Jergens is Drunk Elephant's TLC Glycolic Body Lotion. If the beautiful pink packaging is not enough to sell you, then its perfect blend of AHA, marula and shea butter makes it effective and silky smooth on your skin.
Before Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer appeared on my dressing table, I never thought that a primer was necessary. It can double as a moisturizer-that's it.
If you want a moisturizing eye primer that can cover blood vessels and small blemishes, Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Eye Primer is small but powerful. Please note that this product is of great help; it is very thick.
Benefit Cosmetics’ POREfessional Pore Minimizing Primer deserves worldwide praise because it can actually blur pores before applying makeup. Moreover, it keeps your makeup all day long.
It is important to apply SPF every day, even if it is just a spray. Coola's Full Spectrum 360-degree refreshing water mist is the easiest way-and a great freshener before makeup.
Enter my tried and tested favorite facial cleanser, which can transform my acne-prone skin into a smooth and happy feeling. Alpyn Beauty's Creamy Bubbling Cleanser provides the right amount of foam and gently exfoliates (thanks to AHA and papain).
Go, don't run into this formula that is less than $40.
As a budget-friendly option, CeraVe's foaming cleanser dominates. It is very useful for sensitive skin, especially for dull and dry skin is also a good moisturizer.
Crabtree & Evelyn's Soft Touch Face Foam has a floral and creamy consistency that will refresh your skin without peeling off your delicate skin. Moreover, the brand's Hydrating Glow Face Moisturizer is also excellent.
Want to make your skin bounce? Drunk Elephant's Beste No. 9 Jelly Cleanser is not fooling, it has a good consistency of texture-contains cantaloupe and glycerin to increase moisture-provides a feeling of rejuvenating the skin.
When my skin feels particularly dull, I always take out Fresh Sugar Strawberry Exfoliating Cleanser. It has a very sweet taste and does not peel off my skin, although its fine particles can exfoliate like charm.
Now, although GoopGlow Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator is a splurge, it is a great bathtub. It is worth noting that it combines chemical and physical exfoliating elements to remove roughness-the miracle of dry skin.
If you have dry skin, Korres' Greek Yogurt Foaming Cleanser is a cleanser that you should not sleep on. It is rich and genuine Greek yogurt. I like to use it because it gently cleanses and conditions my skin tone and even removes makeup.
Tatcha's "pass GO" is far away from landing skin care products monopoly. This Japanese beauty brand has extraordinary luxury products that contain hyaluronic acid, Japanese algae and the brand’s iconic Hadaasaei-3’s The Rice Wash Skin-Softening Cleanser to make the skin younger.
Not to mention, it always refreshed my face before using moisturizer.
Although there is only one hand cream, it is included for a reason. Crabtree & Evelyn's Harvest Hand Cream is often placed on my bedside table. Because it is a mixture of sunflower oil, chia seed oil and borage oil, it always makes my hands very smooth.
Let's talk about refreshing. Belif's Aqua Bomb moisturizing toner always makes me feel like I'm diving into the sea. The bottle says it "fills the skin with moisture" and the brand says almost everything in my mouth.
I like Caudalie's skin care products because it always makes my skin feel nourished. Specifically, its Vinopure Natural Salicylic Acid Pore Minimizing Toner (one bite, but good) is suitable for most skin types and can visibly remove excess oil.
Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow PHA BHA Pore Tightening Toner is scented, shrinks pores, and will motivate you to perform a seven-step skincare routine. It replenishes moisture to your skin before the moisturizer in the most delicious way. It also contains hyaluronic acid and cactus water. It is a fashionable skin drink.
Indie Lee's COQ-10 toner is a hidden skin care gem containing aloe vera and cucumber. It has a spa-like feel and can reverse the dullness of dry skin. Moreover, this is something my friends always steal from me when they visit.
I mean, I want to go to Santorini for a drink, but Korres’ Santorini Grape Velvet Skin Drink is one I can buy recently. The best way to describe this modern packaging care: It makes my skin feel sober, but it doesn't look shiny.
I have heard of Elaluz's beauty oil everywhere, and I finally understood its hype after using it for a few months. As an early riser, it makes my skin feel refreshed, probably because it is 100% plant-based and contains eucalyptus and vitamins A and E.
As the top three favorite vitamin C serums we tested, Biossance's squalane vitamin C dark spot serum is a classic formula I often choose. It is also one of the best options for brightening and helping to eliminate dark spots.
Caudalie's Vinsource Hyaluronic Acid Serum deserves all the praise because it is the creamiest serum I have tested. It is actually a moisturizer, but it is lighter and has a nourishing effect on sensitive areas such as under the eyes.
Before you say "I can't buy a serum for $300", it is important to note that Dr. Barbara Sturm's Hyaluronic Acid Serum is perfect for people who want to take their skin care regimen to a new level. It is rich in low-molecular-weight and high-molecular-weight HA, which can instantly lift the skin-a really recommended splurge.
Marula oil has excellent anti-aging and moisturizing properties. When I use Drunk Elephant's Virgin Marula Luxury Facial Oil, I always feel refreshed. It is rich in antioxidants and Omega 6 and Omega 9, which can target dryness and uneven texture.
Farmacy's Very Cherry Brightening Vitamin C Serum is unique because of its hidden cherry scent. It is the best brightening serum for dry skin. It contains "better" form of vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid), which makes me feel sober.
The hottest item is Glow Recipe's Guava Vitamin C Dark Spot Treatment Serum, which is our top vitamin C serum. Can you say that we like vitamin C essence?
It is very smooth and refreshing, and it is a bottle worth putting on the bathroom counter.
As another splurge, Tata Harper's Superkind Fragrance-Free Biological Barrier Serum is particularly suitable for dryness, dark circles and anti-aging. I like that it is mainly plant-based, vegan and ultra-moisturizing-especially in winter.
I finally joined the trend of Nécessaire and found it to be a necessary effort. All puns aside, it is an excellent gel oil cleanser, suitable for your skin, and always makes my skin non-irritating and smooth after shower.
If you are looking for a body scrub with extra texture, please consider KP Bump Eraser from First Aid Beauty. It is specially designed for rough patches. In order to reduce and prevent razor burns, I cannot recommend it too much.
The advantage of OUAI's Scrub is that it is equally effective on your scalp and body. It completely changed my shower experience, rubbing on my skin and then performing a two-in-one wash on my hair.
If you don't see this mask on TikTok, it will be sold to you-and, it is as good as it looks.
I have never seen a mask that instantly makes my skin smooth, refreshed and moisturized irresistibly. At $39, this is my most recommended product.
Farmacy's honey potion renewal anti-oxidant moisturizing mask always makes my skin glow and soft, looks great in my bathroom, it is a beauty and skin care product worth owning to commemorate self-care day.
For less than $10, you should seriously buy Clean Charcoal Mask from Sephora Collection. This is a fun night event with your friends. Now, Sephora offers same-day delivery service-what could be better than this?
Whenever I want to remove makeup in a pinch, I always turn to Farmacy's Green Clean Makeup Removing Cleansing Balm. When I woke up the next morning, it was smooth and didn't leave any residue-rare these days.
Micellar water is another product I like to use to remove makeup and remove excess oil. Drunk Elephant is my favorite. It does not peel off my skin and make it red like other products I have used. Not to mention, the bottle can be used for a long time.
If you want a two-in-one cleanser and makeup remover, Garnier's micellar cleanser water is an economical choice. In addition, it is very convenient for travel.
Lanolips 101 Ointment Multi-Purpose Super Lip Balm is the most suitable lip balm for dry skin that I have reviewed. It is a product worth having multiple products-one for wallets, cars and desks. Seriously, incredible.
Aerin's Rose Lip Conditioner uses the floral scent of its perfume (I like it-especially the "Cedar Violet" and "Mediterranean Honeysuckle" scents). For a $30 lip balm, it may seem expensive, but it has a strong moisturizing effect, although it is a bit sticky.
I never thought of giving some R&R to my lips, but Agave Weekly Vegan Lip Scrub from Bite Beauty is very good and effective. In addition, it is an excellent stocking filler.
