the baby lotion won't help. it contains mineral oils. mineral oils are too large to be absorbed into the skin.
same with the e45.
they make good barrier creams (which is why they're good for nappy rash and the like) but not good moisturisers.
try getting moisturisers using essential oils and natural products, like cocoa butter, shea butter, olive oil, oatmilk and so on. oils like lavendar, rose, vanilla and frankincense are good for drier skins.
I work for Lush, and if you are able to get it where you live (not sure where that is) then I would recommend Dream Cream for the body, and if you want a really rich facial moisturiser too, go for Skin Nanny. it's really heavy, but an amazing moisturiser
