Dry Skin

Dry skin can feel tight, rough, flaky or itchy, and is often worse in cold weather or with frequent washing. GetMyMeds offers a selection of moisturisers, cleansers and serums to help restore and protect the skin barrier. These are pharmacy and everyday skincare options available without a consultation.

How It Works

These products can be purchased without an online consultation. They are designed for daily skincare and general moisturising, so you can simply choose what suits you and order. If you have a persistent skin problem, or you are unsure which product is right for you, we recommend asking a pharmacist for advice before you buy.

Choosing a Treatment

Look for gentle, fragrance-light formulations that support the skin's natural barrier. Lightweight lotions and hydrating serums tend to suit daytime use, while richer creams can be helpful overnight or for very dry areas. Cleansers that do not strip the skin are a good starting point for a daily routine. Patch testing a new product and introducing one item at a time can help you find what works for your skin.

FAQ

How often should I moisturise? Most people benefit from applying moisturiser at least twice a day, and especially after washing while the skin is still slightly damp, which helps lock in hydration.

What is the difference between a lotion and a cream? Lotions are lighter and absorb quickly, making them handy for daytime, while creams are thicker and more nourishing, which suits very dry skin or overnight use.

When should I see a pharmacist or doctor? If your skin is very itchy, cracked, painful, or not improving with regular moisturising, ask a pharmacist or your GP, as you may need a different approach or further assessment.
