My skin is dry, scaly, and looks aged. What medicated creams or treatments can I use to repair and rejuvenate it?
To improve dry, scaly, and aging skin, doctors commonly recommend a skincare routine that helps repair the skin barrier and improve skin renewal. Prescription retinoid creams such as Tretinoin may help reduce fine lines and improve skin texture by increasing collagen and skin cell turnover. Regular use of moisturizers containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or urea can help reduce dryness and scaling by restoring skin moisture. Creams with mild exfoliating ingredients such as lactic acid or glycolic acid may also help remove dead skin gently. Daily sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is important because these treatments can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight. Please consult a dermatologist to choose the right strength and treatment for your skin type.
