I have used cetaphil dam lotion for dry skin overnight on my face but in the morning after washing my face it became dry, red and uneven. So please suggest me a good night cream for my damaged skin barrier.

Hi! cetaphil dam is a good moisturiser to control dryness. If you experiencing dryness, it can be due to other reasons like environmental changes (low humidity experiencing past few days ), hormonal changes etc. Follow few general tips :1) limit your bath time to just 5-10 minutes 2) apply oil before bath 3) use only luke warm water for bathing and only mild soap 4) use doctor prescribed moisturiser at least 5-6 times a day 5) keep nails short 6) wear full sleeves loose cotton clothes 7) avoid contact with irritants and detergents 8) avoid dust and dry weather and mites.

Hi make sure you are using a mild facewash like moiz claimant lotion or just dove soap to wash your face, and don't scrub.
