There are a few things to do:

1. Drink plenty of water to keep yourself hydrated
2. Reduce how often you shower or bathe. Showers are better with lukewarm water. Hot water dries out the skin.
3. Replace your soap with a mild cleanser like cetaphyl.

Not much else i can suggest that isn't a "moisturizer".

I have used Ponds cold cream most of my adult life. Put it on your face at night and tissue it off. It cleans your pores and softens your skin. Give it a try.

I believe it is getting popular again because they have redesigned the containers and make several different kinds.

My daughter had really bad acne until she started using it. She said it was too thick or something. But then she started using it and her skin cleared up.

ask a doctor

try eating more plain yougurt, it's good for your skin
only wash your face once a day
you can try using nutregena sensitive skin moisturizer, it might work for your type of skin
good luck

If you are allergic to moisturizer...try the natural way to keep away from dry skin..like try using fresh cucumber/ aloe..this can soothe ur skin until u r able to meet a doctor in the next couple of weeks...
