My facial skin was becoming dry itchy , with some redness. Other moisturizers did little and many irrated my skin. My best results came from using estee lauder night repair...but I no longer use that because it not only has parabens but is $70 plus a little tiny bottle.

I was a bit skeptical about SKIN MD at first. The first 2 days I used it on my face, it didn't feel that moisturizing. However, it did not irratate my skin, so I kept using it.

Now I've been using it about a week and my very dry skin is looking much better! For Real!!! The redness has been calmed and the little bumps on my forehead (ecexma) have receded dramatically. I can actually use mineral makeup powder now. Before my skin was too dry and it looked horrid. My skin is looking like it self again. Good product. Good price. I highly recommend.

This sounds like just what I'm looking for. Iâ€™m an artist and find that the oils and solvents I use are always drying my hands out and leaving them dry, cracked and sore. This definitely sounds worth a try, especially as itâ€™s non greasy and lasts so long. Itâ€™s been getting some good press too and is worth checking out - Skin MD Natural in the UK. It uses a new advanced scientific proprietary formulation which, apparently, has a moisturizing factor 6 times greater than glycerin, the standard humectant (water absorber) against which all others are measured. It is a shielding lotion which bonds to the skin to keep the irritants out, moisture in and protects the skin in a way a normal moisturizer canâ€™t. Well worth a look.

4 oz. will last 1 to 2 months? Maybe if you're Tinkerbell.

$25/4 oz. is crazy expensive.

Barrie, how about adding a few drops of lavendar oil into a bottle of unscented Lubriderm? (I do this with unscented Alba Very Emollient lotion...s'nice.)

I actually use this product every night. I have eczema and roseacea and it responds really well to this. I never saw the demo you described. Pretty amusing!

I use the Anthelios that you reviewed a while ago every morning as well-I just dont need spf at night!

I'm on this endless search to find the perfect lotion. It would contain SPF 15 or higher, smell like lavender and cost under $10. The only thing that comes close to these teeny tiny requirements is Lubriderm, but that just smells like lotion. So for now, I just put good smelling oils in said lotion. But you'd think someone like Suave or Oil of Olay would come up with this by now.

Any suggestions?

There are no possible words describing what menopause has done to my skin. Apple Valley comes to mind...you know in the Mojave? Or that place in Nevada where they did nuclear field testing. I would be willing to try almost anything.

I have been wanting to try gloves in a bottle. I saw a review in a gardening mag and it look like something I could use when putzing outside. Haven't found it locally, may have to try amazon.

It would be very interesting to read your thoughts in a comparison. My hands (and skin in general) are really parched ever since I moved to the desert, I can't seem to stay on top of the dryness. I'd love a good product that doesn't cost a small fortune!

gloves in a bottle is terrific! I'd use it more but I'm a dog groomer and you can only ask so much of a lotion. It does act like gloves, repelling water, etc. (Just not when your hands are in water constantly). I'd DEFINITELY recommend you give it a try.
