I’m type 2 & suffering with really dry skin on my body. My skin itches a lot too.
Tried lots of moisturisers, any recommendations please

Hi and welcome to the forums.

Not something I've any personal experience of, but i'm sure others here have.

Have you tried Aveeno Cream? This is the only moisturising cream that works for me. I have a very dry sensitive skin.

Also eat more olive oil and healthy fat e.g. butter, cream, fat from meat. I take a collagen supplement and it's really done my dry skin a lot of good - but shop around if you decide to try that because some are very poor quality. I use a company that doesn't have any fillers or additives. It's a bit more expensive but you are getting more product.

I use CeraVe it was developed with dermatologists. They have a few different cleansers which I use as my body wash as it doesn’t distrupt the protective skin barrier. They also have different body and facial moisturizers, and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.
