Winter skin and I? We’ve been in a toxic relationship for years. As soon as the temperature dips below 60 and the air dries out, my shins transform into something that would make Zendaya’s character in Dune feel right at home.
So when Ashley—my fellow editor and dry skin warrior—recommended Remedy, I paid attention. The brand happens to be the #1 Skin Care Brand in Health Care*, and their fragrance-free, hypoallergenic formulas are packed with natural ingredients. For under $20, I’ll try anything once.
A few weeks in, and I’m already wondering how I made it through so many winters without this on my shelf. Here’s how Remedy is saving me this season:
While my face tends to stay combination to oily, my body tells a much different story. My legs (especially my shins), arms, and elbows feel perpetually dry and tight during colder months. My heels and shins are especially problematic and prone to rough patches.
And because I live in the Midwest, where stepping out of a shower feels like entering an arctic wind tunnel, I want a one-step body care routine. I need something that sinks in fast and keeps my skin moisturized all day—no waiting around, no layering multiple products, and definitely no sticky residue that clings to fabric and (if this is a safe space…) cat hair.
When it comes to my body moisturizer, I’m selective. I’ve tested formulas that are too thick, too greasy, or overly perfumed. And none of them hit the mark. My non-negotiables are simple but specific:
These Remedy formulas checked every box and then some.
After Ashley’s recommendation, I started using both the body lotion and the skin cream and within days, I saw an improvement in my overall skin health. These aren’t just drugstore lotions with fancy labels—they’re clinically formulated and backed by the National Eczema Association.
The Remedy formulas are packed with a blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and over 10 natural ingredients designed to hydrate, protect, and strengthen the skin barrier. A few standouts:
Both products are hypoallergenic and fragrance-free, making them ideal for even the most sensitive skin.
What makes Remedy different is its balance between medical-grade efficacy and everyday wearability. The body lotion delivers true 24-hour hydration, and it sinks in fast without that heavy, sticky finish that makes you hesitate before putting on pants. It’s lightweight enough for daily use, but still rich enough to keep your skin happy through winter air and radiator heat.
The skin cream, meanwhile, is the heavy-hitter I reach for when my elbows, shins, or heels start staging a rebellion. It’s thicker, yes, but somehow still breathable. Think: deep nourishment without the “I can’t touch anything” aftermath.
After a week of using both, my skin wasn’t just surviving Midwest winter—it was thriving. No more midday flakiness, no tightness, no dusting my leggings with dry skin. Just soft, soothed, genuinely moisturized skin that looks and feels better with every use.
I apply the body lotion right after showering while my skin is still slightly damp—it locks in moisture instantly without leaving a film. For extra-dry areas, I follow up with the skin cream, focusing on my shins, heels, and elbows. Both formulas layer beautifully under clothes and absorb quickly enough that I can be fully dressed within minutes (a true luxury in my frigid Chicago bathroom). Safe to say, Remedy and I are in a very healthy relationship now.
