From rich moisturisers and barrier-repairing emollients to gentle cleansers, hydrating serums and nourishing bath and body care, we stock dermatologically developed brands trusted for dry and very dry skin. Whether you’re managing everyday dryness or more persistent rough, itchy patches, you’ll find effective relief — all delivered to your door anywhere in Ireland. For dry skin linked to a condition such as eczema, we always recommend following the product guidance and speaking to your pharmacist or GP.

Rich Moisturisers & Creams

Daily moisturising is the cornerstone of caring for dry skin. Rich face and body creams and lotions help replenish moisture and lock it in, with barrier-supporting ingredients such as ceramides, urea and glycerin to keep skin soft and comfortable. Apply generously, ideally straight after washing while skin is still slightly damp.

Emollients & Barrier Repair

For very dry, rough or eczema-prone skin, emollients provide intensive, lasting hydration and help protect the skin barrier. Our range includes emollient creams, gels and ointments, as well as leave-on treatments for the driest areas. These fragrance-light, soothing formulas are suitable for regular daily use on the face and body.

Gentle Cleansers & Washes

Harsh cleansers can strip the skin and worsen dryness, so opt for gentle, hydrating face cleansers and soap-free body and shower washes. Emollient wash creams and bath and shower oils cleanse while leaving a protective, moisturising layer, making them ideal for dry and sensitive skin.

Hydrating Serums

Boost moisture levels with hydrating serums containing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, which helps the skin hold water, and ceramides, which support the skin barrier. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, a hydrating serum applied before your moisturiser is a great way to add an extra layer of hydration for dry skin.

Hand, Foot & Body Care

Dryness often shows up most on hard-working areas like hands, heels and elbows. Rich hand creams, cracked heel treatments, body oils and balms help nourish and repair these areas, keeping skin smooth and comfortable. Reapply hand cream through the day, especially after washing.

Our dry skin range features trusted dermatological brands, including E45, CeraVe, Eucerin, Aveeno, Cetaphil, Bioderma, Neostrata and The INKEY List, plus emollient specialists such as Doublebase, Cetraben and Hydromol.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dry skin happens when the skin loses too much moisture or doesn’t produce enough natural oils. Common triggers include cold or windy weather, central heating, hot showers, harsh soaps, frequent hand washing and ageing. Some skin conditions, such as eczema, also cause persistent dryness. Using gentle products and moisturising regularly helps keep skin comfortable.

Moisturise at least once or twice a day, and more often on very dry areas or hands as needed. The best time is straight after washing, while skin is still slightly damp, to help lock in moisture. For very dry skin, a richer cream or emollient and regular reapplication will give the most comfort.

The terms overlap — all emollients are moisturisers, but “emollient” usually refers to richer, often fragrance-light formulas designed to soften skin and support the barrier, frequently used for very dry or eczema-prone skin. They come as creams, gels, ointments and bath or wash products. For a specific skin condition, your pharmacist can help you choose.

It’s best to avoid harsh, stripping or heavily fragranced soaps and cleansers, very hot water and over-exfoliating, as these can worsen dryness. Choose gentle, hydrating cleansers and soap-free washes instead, and pat skin dry rather than rubbing. Applying moisturiser straight afterwards helps seal in hydration.

If your dry skin is severe, very itchy, cracked, painful, not improving with regular moisturising, or you think it may be linked to a condition such as eczema or psoriasis, it’s a good idea to speak to your pharmacist or GP. They can recommend suitable emollients or treatments and advise on the best routine for you.
