Effective lotion for softening skin

Hello lovely people! I just want to thank everyone who has replied to my first post about me being a newly diagnosed Scleroderma patient. Grateful for all your warm wishes and support. Hopefully we all get through this horrible condition. Regarding your skin hardening, do you put any topical lotion that helps with softening your skin? Please let me know on the comments. Thank you so much!

hello there. I use Aveeno body lotion and hand cream. The blue label ones for preference. Very moisturising and low in chemicals.

Hi. I tried many many different lotions. I found Cetreban the best. I asked for the tubs rather than the pump action. My hands were so bad at the time I found the pump action difficult to use. This item was on prescription for me.

I hope you find one which suits you.

Xx

I use just pure organic castor oil, it's amazing. If too greasy can put on at night and wear soft cotton gloves. My daughter has skin issues through eczema and we've started to use it on her and also brilliant.
