Hi, while I don't have the type of skin you do, I can hopefully rec some highly moisturizing products that might help. And while drugstore brands make some great products, I think you'll need to go more high end if you can. Try Kiehl's Rosa Arctica cream, this is super emoillient but gentle on skin , Clarins Vital Light( this one is very pricey but a great product) or Clinique Moisture Surge. Good luck.

I would try a serum or face oil - maximize the amount of good moisture and nutrients that your skin is receiving. Plus you should find a product that inhibits hyper pigmentation and improves collagen strength. Check out Rescues Wounded Skin Serum by De La Terre Skincare. http://www.delaterreskincare.com/skin-condition/damaged-skin. The price point on this product is higher than drugstore brands, but the quality is unparalleled. The staff at this company are very helpful, so you can always call or email for more information.

Oh, yes........I have your skin type and tone.....sigh. First, it sounds like you may need to eat more foods with good, natural oils like olive oil and fish. This helped me greatly. Also, I recommend gentle exfoliation regularly. I use the Olay ProX face brush with a gentle foaming cleanser (Avenno's Ultra Calming) every night. Once the dead dry flakes are off your face, the moisturizing products you use will be more effective since they can get to the new skin underneath. I agree that maybe a serum or face oil may work well for you. If you have a Whole Foods store near you, go into their beauty area and check out the natural face oils they sell. they carry several brands that make skin oils for our type and are all around $15-$20 a bottle, including argan oil. I would also recommend wearing a tinted moisturizer daily, with SPF, to protect your skin from the environment and add extra moisture. Boots #7 and Sonia Kashuk make great, reasonbly priced ones that have shades fair enough for us.
