36 products that will help you if you’re stuck in winter

I’ve had dry patches on my face on and off my whole life, which I’ve just accepted as a result of being a 30-something who spends a lot of time outdoors in cold weather. It took about 2 seconds for our (distinguished) dermatologist to assess the situation and recommend this. The dry patches around my mouth and eyes disappeared within two days of using this. It absorbs so quickly into the skin that I was almost afraid it wouldn’t do anything, but the long-term results are undeniable. My skin felt softer, and I was able to cut out the niacinamide and expensive exfoliant I’d been using, making this one of the most cost-effective skincare steps of my life. I am so thankful my dermatologist recommended this to me and I wish I had gone to see her about this much sooner!

Promising review: “This is one of the best products I have used! The niacinamide has helped clear up the hyperpigmentation in conjunction with the tretinoin. I suffer from dry, sensitive skin, and this has saved my life, especially during the harsh winter. A little goes a long way. I use a pea size and just apply on Areas that are drier for me (cheeks, nose area and chin. I spread it sparingly on my forehead). I also add a dab under my eyes before applying concealer which helps. It also tends to be dry, using less than a pea-sized amount. Long story short, great product. IIt’s expensive (I use it sparingly), but I’ll keep using it. I’m sure I’ll use less in the summer, but I’ll keep buying.”atmosphere
