The skin on my shoulders is quite dry because of the winter weather. I need something! But unfortunately my shoulders are prone to breakouts. Anyone have any suggestion what I should try? Thanks!

For really dry skin, I think the Kiehl's Intensive Treatment is amazing.

My kids use this on their hands in the winter because their hands get so dry they crack. :(

For less problem areas, I like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Cetaphil-Moisturizing-Cream-Fragrance-Free/dp/B000052YMQ

For everyday, I like these:

Alba Very Emollient Lotion. It's the best and not greasy!

Organic jojoba oil. Jojoba oil makes your skin amazingly soft and nourished. Even if you have tried other skin oils but havent tried jojoba-it feels so much more wonderful than others.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing lotion (the one in the two-pack at Costco).
http://www.aveeno.com/product/aveeno+daily+moisturizing+lotion.do

it's nice and thick but absorbs right away. no fragrance. not sticky. lasts all day (meaning my skin isn't itchy til my next shower). Sometimes I try a different lotion and always go back to the Aveeno. maybe it's the oatmeal in it that makes it work so well?

I got a sample size of the Aveeno Eczema lotion at the derm and liked that one too. I kept it in my purse.

Thanks everyone. I ended up with the Cerave, because it's what I saw first at Wegmans. It works, it's a little thicker than I like, but I haven't broken out. I'm not sure I'll buy another tub of it, so I appreciate the other options you all have given me. Thanks!! :)
