If your skin is feeling the harsh effects of winter, leaving it dry, tight or itchy, you’re not alone. Google searches for “dry skin in winter” have surged by 450% over recent months, according to research from CeraVe.
Even OK!’s beauty team has been lamenting about their skin woes. But don’t fret, we’ve found a solution that’s perfect for everyone in the family.
We’ve recently rediscovered our love for Bioderma’s Atoderm Ultra-Soothing Balm, which provides immediate relief for uncomfortable skin. This fragrance-free balm, suitable even for babies, doesn’t just hydrate dry skin but also strengthens the skin barrier to prevent moisture loss, thanks to a blend of lipids, glycerin and ceramides.
Usually priced at £15.50 for a 200ml tube, you can currently nab it for 20% less on Lookfantastic with the code FLASH, reducing it to £12.40. It’s also discounted to £12.47 on Amazon, and the larger bottle offers even better value, now priced at £18 for 500ml.

Shoppers have been singing the praises of a miracle moisturiser that’s become a family favourite for its incredible effects on problem skin. “I have very reactive skin, and have found this moisturiser to be perfect for keeping my skin moisturised and hydrated while allowing my skin barrier to repair,” one satisfied customer shared on the Lookfantastic website, reports the Mirror.
They added, “Also been using it for my son’s severe eczema as the emollients prescribed are very greasy and off-putting. Using this twice every day has done wonders for him.”
Another shopper wrote, “Thanks to this balm my skin is not dry anymore, just perfect for winter.”
Even our beauty and wellness editor Laura Mulley is a fan. “I don’t normally struggle with dry skin but recently my forearms in particular have become really itchy and scaly, no doubt due to a combination of the cold weather, drying central heating and wearing synthetic knitwear,” she revealed.

Laura found that “this Bioderma balm provides instant relief, and even one use keeps my skin feeling comfortable for days.”
However, some users find it takes a bit of effort to rub in. “Great for dry irritated skin, it seems to coat the skin for a while which takes a bit of getting used to but having said that, it’s a very effective product for eczema and psoriasis,” reads one review.
For those who prefer a lighter touch, Laura also recommends Bioderma Atoderm 2-in-1 Dry Body Oil, £24, from the same range, which offers quick absorption without any greasiness.
Another top pick for those with dry to very dry skin is CeraVe Moisturising Cream, which you can currently get for £13.60 at Sephora, down from its usual price of £16. Also, La Roche-Posay’s Cicaplast Baume B5+, priced at £11, comes highly recommended by dermatologists and skincare gurus alike.
