Although the pedant in me says that vitamin C will help with renewing your skin and all that jazz, but if you're seriously dry like me, you may want to dip your toes into two things:
1. Ceramides and niacinamides to strengthen your skin barrier, because if it's like mine, it was fucking WRECKED by month after month every year of cold, dry windy weather
2. Hyaluronic acid and other humectants, which help draw water into your skin.
Cerave has a very reasonably priced thing with both of these. I also still like the Ordinary's face moisturizer with hyaluronic acid. And now that it's full winter where I am, at night, I slather my face with the Ordinary's rose hip oil. Also, if your skin was chronically dry like mine, a low-key chemical exfoliant like the Ordinary's lactic acid once or twice a week helped me get to new skin that hadn't been wrecked yet by Endless Wind.
