/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Does anyone here have experience with pic related? My normal moisturizer hasn't been enough for this winter; so I just recently bought the regular water gel, and while it's definitely helped with "long term" dryness, I absolutely have to use it alongside my normal lotion after washing my face. If i use it alone, it seems to do nothing in the moment and my face is tight and dry as if I used nothing. Would the gel-cream be enough on its own you think?
