Overview
Skin dryness and hydration issues occur when the skin lacks sufficient moisture in the epidermis, leading to a compromised barrier function. This makes skin feel tight, rough, or flaky and increases sensitivity to external irritants.
Common Symptoms Across Conditions
- Tight, uncomfortable feeling after cleansing

- Fine lines that appear more prominent when dry
