Dry patches on face after cold virus - what can I use to moisturise?

Hi everyone, I've had a few cold viruses over the 4-6 weeks with the last one just ending now. Unfortunately, for some reason, I've been left with extremely dry skin on my face that's really uncomfortable. Nothing has worked to moisturise it so I was hoping someone could recommend something.
I'm mid 50s with sensitive, combination skin (usually).

TIA

La Roche Posay Cicaplast B5 Baume is the thing for this.

Hi, I have been using Aveeno Calm+Restore Oat Rich Balm a few times a day on my fifties sensitive, dry skin. I have it on my desk and try to moisturise more than twice a day. It is really helping and I find I don't react to it. It's unfragranced and not very expensive to try it out. I don't work for them or anything 😁I was just happy to find it.

Thank you both, both sound marvellous :)

I swear by Aveeno baby soothing relief emollient cream that I get from amazon. Ive tried all the moisturisers in the book including the swanky ones and they just make my face scream but aveeno is oat based and lovely. Properly moisturising with no greasy residue.

Love Averno. I seem to have a dispenser in every room except in the bathroom, where I have two! I sometimes use aveeno as a base to some of the more powerful/greasier barrier lotions. 🌹
