Building a Winter Dry-Skin Kit from Farmasave: Body Creams, Hand Creams and Lip Care Compared

Winter is hard on skin. Cold wind outdoors and dry, heated air indoors leave many people with tight, rough patches on the body, cracked knuckles and chapped lips. A small kit of three products, one for the body, one for the hands and one for the lips, covers most of what you need through the colder months.

Italian online pharmacy Farmasave stocks many of the dermocosmetic brands commonly recommended in European pharmacies, often below list price. This guide compares a selection of body, hand and lip products. All prices, list prices and stock information come from farmasave.it and were checked on 3 November 2026; prices change, so check the product page before ordering.

Winter Skin Products Compared

Prices from farmasave.it on 3 November 2026. All listed items were in stock when checked.

Step 1: A Body Cream or Balm

The body is where a rich, fragrance-light cream makes the biggest difference, and buying a large tub keeps the cost per use down. Three popular pharmacy options stand out.

CeraVe Moisturising Cream

CeraVe’s cream is built around three ceramides and hyaluronic acid. At Farmasave, the 454g tub was €14.29 against a list price of €23.89, around 40% off. If you want to try it first, the 177ml size was €7.71. The large tub is a practical choice for a household where several people share one cream.

La Roche-Posay Lipikar Baume AP+M

La Roche-Posay positions Lipikar Baume AP+M for atopic-prone skin and says it is suitable for babies, children and adults. The 200ml tube was €16.47 at Farmasave, down from a list price of €25.90.

Avène XeraCalm A.D

Avène’s XeraCalm A.D cream is aimed at very dry, atopic-prone skin, again for babies, children and adults. The 200ml size was €15.81 (list €24.90), and the 400ml was €20.64 (list €31.90), which works out cheaper per millilitre for regular users.

Step 2: A Hand Cream You Will Actually Use

Hands are washed many times a day, and in winter that often leads to dryness around the knuckles. The best hand cream is one small enough to carry and quick enough to absorb that you reapply it. Farmasave had several 30-50ml options:

• La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Mani (50ml, €7.94): contains niacinamide.
• La Roche-Posay Lipikar Xerand (50ml, €6.96): a hand cream from the Lipikar range for dry hands.
• Eucerin UreaRepair 5% urea (30ml, €2.84): the cheapest option here, built around urea.

At these prices it is easy to keep one tube by the sink and another in a bag or coat pocket.

Step 3: Lip Care

Lips have no oil glands of their own, so they are often the first thing to crack in cold weather. Two options at different price points:

• La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Lèvres (7.5ml, €6.78, list €11.00): contains 5% panthenol and what the brand calls MP-lipids.
• Nuxe Rêve de Miel lip stick (4g, €4.22, list €9.00): a honey-based stick from the French brand Nuxe.

Three Sample Kits at Different Budgets

Using the prices above, here is how a three-step kit could add up:

• Budget kit: CeraVe 177ml (€7.71) + Eucerin UreaRepair hand cream (€2.84) + Nuxe lip stick (€4.22) = €14.77.
• Family kit: CeraVe 454g (€14.29) + Cicaplast Mani (€7.94) + Cicaplast Lèvres (€6.78) = €29.01.
• Very dry skin kit: Avène XeraCalm A.D 400ml (€20.64) + Lipikar Xerand hand cream (€6.96) + Cicaplast Lèvres (€6.78) = €34.38.

None of these reaches Farmasave’s free shipping threshold on its own, so it can make sense to combine a skin kit with other pharmacy items you need, or to buy for more than one person.

Simple Winter Skin Habits

• Apply body cream soon after a shower, while the skin is still slightly damp.
• Keep showers warm rather than hot, and keep them short.
• Reapply hand cream after washing your hands, especially before going outside.
• Wear gloves in cold, windy weather.
• Patch test any new product, and stop using it if it irritates your skin.

Final Thoughts

A winter dry-skin kit does not need to be complicated: one good body cream, a hand cream you will reapply and a lip balm cover most needs. Buying well-known pharmacy brands such as CeraVe, La Roche-Posay and Avène below list price keeps the cost manageable, and the 30-day lowest price shown on each product page makes it easier to spot a real deal.
