As we age, skin naturally becomes drier, more sensitive, and more prone to crepiness, redness, and fine lines. In this video, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dray shares her top drugstore skincare products for dry, sensitive, anti-aging skin in your 50s.
You do not need luxury skincare to support mature skin. These dermatologist-approved drugstore products focus on barrier repair, hydration, collagen support, and gentle anti-aging that actually works.
Dr. Dray walks through face, body, and foot care, explains why skin changes in your 50s, and shows how to build a simple routine using affordable products backed by science.

Dr Drayz is it true that Vaseline works as well as Aquaphor to apply under the eyes before applying concealer to keep it from slipping or caking and just a dab under each eye and how dry or moist should it be before applying concealer? Btw thank you 😊 you are so much fun to watch and listen to I’m learning quite a lot from you have a wonderful rest of your evening and have a great week ahead 💞
I use an alpha hydroxy by Ponds made for the face and it has really made a difference in the texture of the skin on my face. Plus I have never had any irritation at all. I also use it on the back of my hands to smooth out wrinkles and dryness there. (I’m 73.) It is Pond’s Rejuveness.
I have VERY dry, cracked skin on my feet – soles, heels, sides. The best item I have ever used is calcipotriene cream 0.005%. It is prescription and use SPARINGLY. A little goes a long way and this has cleared up my feet. I would get deep, bleeding fissures and now – gone.
Best face cleanser(s) to use for aging skin?
