A member asked:

What is the best lotion for very dry skin?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Recommendations: Functional lotions, such as those that replace sphingolipid ceramide (e.g., cerave) work very well as moisturizers, either as a cream or a lotion, in the treatment of xerosis cutis or dry skin.
