In need of super-hydrating/ultra rich facial moisturizer

[vhdos]

It seems as though the skin below my nose/above my upper lip is always dry. Sort of like chapped lips, but goes beyond that. I use Obagi skin care and a prescription retina-a, so I know that those types of products can be drying (but I need them for anti-aging). Can someone recommend a super-hydrating/ultra-rich facial moisturizer?

organic essentials oils!

eg rose hip oil

I've tried some oils before and although they work well to hydrate, they tend to cause minor break-outs if I use them repeatedly.

Avene Extra Rich Compensating Cream or Cicalfate if it's... really burnt.

I've been using Fresh's Seaberry Moisturizing Oil and Ole Henrickson's Pure Perfection and I'm literally having the 1st winter I can remember without dry skin.
The oil isn't oily, it's almost like a dry oil, it's absorbed into my skin immediately w/ zero residue. I can't explain it, it's just gone.

The Ole Henrickson has been fantastic but has glycolic and lactic acids in it so probably isn't right for you. I do HIGHLY recommend the Fresh oil though. Can't say enough about it.

Look into Caudalie Vinosource Intense Moisture Rescue Cream, it's actually what I went to Sephora to buy but left w/ Ole Henrickson instead because I needed the acids.

I also think Aquaphor is magical in small areas like that

I use pur minerals moisture infusion (gel) with another moisturizer on top. It's a little sticky by itself. My face loves it!

If you can get your hands on Avibon, it works wonders for dry skin and anti-aging, without interferring with Obagi.

Aveda's Tourmaline Charged Hydrating Cream has been wonderful for me. Not greasy and has never clogged my pores.

La Mer (the original cream formula)

I've had the same problem. Good old fashioned Vaseline on the affected area nightly before bed works like a charm.

i tend to add a few drops of tea tree oil to the essential oils i am using.

Its on the pricy side but I keep a jar of Sisley Creme Reparatrice around for this purpose. Its rich, thick and deeply moisturizing. I use it to supplement my regular moisturizer on days when my skin is very dry, irritated, etc... I have used this for close to 20 years. great stuff that works.

Yes
I had the same problem, my skin became dry and eczema like, vaseline cleared it up
