The Budget-Friendly Skin Care That Transformed My Dry, Thirsty Skin (Hint: It's Clinically Formulated)

On a mission to keep my skin healthy and glowing, I’m particularly selective about my product lineup this time of year. My sensitive skin craves a routine that will cleanse, nourish, and moisturize, while still maintaining my natural barrier. 

Thankfully, right as the air started to get dry in New York City, I had the opportunity to test Remedy Skincare’s hypoallergenic, fragrance free lotion and cream—and now my skin is on its A-game.

Remedy Skincare is part of Medline Industries, a fourth generation, family-owned company that’s been around for over 100 years. Medline offers a wide range of products, including medical devices and patient service items. Remedy Skincare is a line of skin care products clinically formulated to protect, nourish, and restore the skin.

The brand’s Remedy Nutrient Complex contains emollients, vitamins, proteins, and soothing antioxidants for your skin. Made with hypoallergenic ingredients like dimethicone, aloe, and vitamin E, Remedy’s line of simple-yet-effective skin care solutions hydrate, soothe, and protect the skin from irritation, dryness, and damage. 

Whenever I try a new product, I do a deep dive on the ingredients. I loved learning that Remedy Skincare’s entire lineup is clinically formulated—which isn’t surprising considering it comes from a medical company!

Any brand can make bold claims about their ingredients, but it gives peace of mind to know that there’s a clinical component to these products (especially when you have sensitive skin like I do).

The Body Cream is enriched with a premium blend of natural emollients and humectants. With 1.5% dimethicone to help alleviate skin dryness, the cream is slightly richer than the lotion and was developed by skin care experts specifically to restore extremely dry and chapped skin.

One thing about me: I hate adding steps to my routine. That’s why I was so excited to discover that Remedy Skincare’s products are so versatile.

I’m all about instant gratification, but skin care is a long game; and I love that Remedy Skincare checks both boxes. I felt and saw a change the very first time I used the moisturizer, and I love knowing that the ingredients are also supporting my skin’s longevity.

Like I said, my skin is sensitive. It doesn’t take long for me to see the impact of dryer air and colder weather. When I began testing Remedy Skincare at the end of October, my skin was already feeling fairly dull and stripped of its natural moisture.

The first product I tried was the clinical moisturizer. As I rubbed it onto my legs, I could literally feel my skin drinking it in. And my legs immediately looked more hydrated. 

I test a lot of skin care products as a perk of my job, and Remedy is one of the most affordable lines I’ve tried—but it still offers great results. While I do wish the ingredient list was a bit shorter, I do believe Remedy Skincare is worth it for anyone (especially those with sensitive skin!) who wants to simplify their routine. 

I’ll never be a 10-step skin care routine person, so I’m always on the hunt for simple products that streamline my routine—and Remedy Skincare delivered. I love how nourishing and hydrating the products are, plus the fact that they’re made for sensitive skin types and any budget.
