Dry, itchy skin in the family: which body lotion for autumn and winter?
On theqoo's beauty board, a Korean community, someone asked for help for an older parent whose body skin had become very dry and itchy. They wanted something gentle enough for a baby, listed three candidates, and welcomed other ideas.
Here is what the 24 replies added up to:
-
Illiyoonwas mentioned most. Many said the richerUltra Repairor the anti-itchRed-Itch lines suit autumn and winter better than the light sky-blue one, and warned that the labels look alike, so read the name. A few found Illiyoon sat on top of the skin.
-
Dermab got praise for fast absorption, so you can dress straight away, and its body oil for lasting longer.
-
Bioderma Atoderm PP Baume, Cetaphil Ceramide Repair, AveenoandNeutrogena body oil were also on the list.
-
For severe itch, people suggested asking a pharmacist about products for very dry skin. One person said switching body wash for a mild bar soap, keeping showers short and moisturising right after made the difference.
-
Several stressed that applying it every day, without skipping, matters as much as the product.
Desk note: The AAD suggests keeping showers and baths to 5–10 minutes in warm, not hot, water and moisturising while skin is still damp. It favours ointments or creams over lotions and fragrance-free products for dry skin. If the itch is bad enough to draw blood or disturb sleep, it is worth seeing a doctor rather than relying on moisturiser alone.
