Since Propecia can cause DHEA-Deficiency (like in my case) which causes dry eyes and skin (buzzle.com/articles/low-dhea … ptoms.html) you should make a blood test for DHEA(S). If there’s a deficiency DHEA-supplementation might help you.

BTW: I’ve just posted my theory on DHEA-Deficiency and dental problems here: propeciahelp.com/forum/viewt … 7&start=40
Unfortunatelly it was yesterday that I took my first DHEA-capsule, so I can’t talk about the benefits yet. What I can say is that I too have really dry skin (as well as a significant DHEA-Deficiency).

yes… dry skin is something that often goes away. I also had extremly dry and brittle hair and dry skin. Its much better now. My hair texture is back to normal and my hair is more oily. I think nasobial folds is a result of facial collagen loss. I had it too.

Before PFS, people guessed my age was 10 years younger, consistently. I considered it a problem for me when it comes to getting respect from others when judged by appearance. And now, people guess within 2 to 3 years of my age.

So I got serious about skin care as part of my recovery plan.
Here’s my list of products beyond the typical vitamins for skin health:
Skin-AlphaHydrox Toner Astringent
Skin-AlphaHydrox Enhanced Lotion
Skin-AlphaHydrox Night Cream
Skin-Hyaluronic Serum
Skin-Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Lotion
Skin-Perfect Image Lactic Acid facial peel (this is as good as any expensive peel at a derm office. Great for sunspots, melasma)
Skin-Sunscreen 30 to 100spf
Skin-BioOil w/PureCellin
Skin-Pycnogenol 100mg (oral tablet)
Skin-Phytoceramides w/Lipowheat (oral caps)

It’s important to establish a daily/nightly routine and be consistent. I’ve used these for the past 3 months and definitely notice the improvements. But years of sun exposure requires me to do repeated skin peels at least once a month. Sun screen is vital, even if you don’t have direct sun exposure.
