[Skin Concerns] Medication causing extremely dry skin and some red flakey patches. Recommendations for moisture?

Beauty Tips For Body Care
I'm posting on behalf of my mum here after telling her how lurking on SCA helped with my acne. My mum suffers with a form of arthritis and takes Simponi injections once a month. She has been on these for a year now and there is one side effect, her skin is extremely dry. In the summer she even gets dry mouth really bad like she is constantly dehydrated.The doctors have prescribed a few creams such as E45 but explained there is no 'cure', that she is best finding a moisturiser off the shelf.She has tried various ones, Superdrug spray moisturiser, shower-in moisturisers, Sanex for dry skin, various Body Care products etc. but they haven't improved her skin.We're in the UK but happy to try anything as long as we can get it delivered. We don't have a bath either which eliminates a few things.
