This Year's Best Skincare Products for Dry Skin

Serums are easily the buzziest ingredient of 2018, and this thick option is loaded with five different types of hyaluronic acid, which is known for its ability to retain a massive amount of moisture. But what makes this product even more impressive is that it creates a smooth base that doubles as a makeup primer.

This is probably the hardest product for anyone with dry skin to purchase. Try a gentle, creamy cleanser, like this one from CeraVe, which cleanses dirt, oil, and debris from your skin while also adding moisture back in with ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and glycerin. 

Give your skin a little extra something with this fast-absorbing overnight mask that feels so weightless, you'll forget you even applied it. What gives it its power? An effective mixture of ceramides, nourishing vitamin E, and antioxidant-rich essential oils. 

SPF is a non-negotiable for any skin type. Dermatologists are obsessed with this ultra-lightweight, hyaluronic acid-infused formula, which locks moisture into the skin while protecting your complexion from the sun's damaging rays. 

This fine powder utilizes an ingredient called Japanese rice bran as its physical, non-abrasive exfoliator, so it won't leave your skin red afterwards. All you do is mix the powder with water to activate the papaya enzymes in the formula. The mixture will transform into a creamy foam and slough off dead skin cells with ease. 

Keep the sensitive skin around your eyes hydrated with a product packed with anti-aging benefits. While moisturizing your skin, you'll be warding off wrinkles at the very same time. This firming cream also uses caffeine and proteins to reduce the appearance of puffiness. 

Dove's latest line is made with the purpose of giving dry, sensitive skin exactly what it needs. Free of fragrance, parabens, and sulfates, this gentle formula won't irritate, but it definitely will provide moisture and strength to skin, thanks to an ingredients list made up of all-stars like amino acids and niacinamides. 

Apply this face mask to cleansed skin before you hit the sheets and wake up to a glowing, soothed, and, most importantly, hydrated complexion. It's a simple way to give dry skin a little extra TLC mid-week.
