Best creams or oils for dry, crepey skin after weight loss

IVe lost a bit of weight and noticed my arms and legs are a bit dry and crepey. I appreciate that no creams or oils are going to make much difference but I’d be grateful for recommendations for a cream or oil that might help.

I keep seeing a Korean product called Skincu popping up on my social media which is an oil meant to tackle this very thing. It has great reviews (don't they always!) so I've ordered some to try. Hopefully it won't be a total waste of money.

Im using Aveeno daily moisturising cream and it has improved the appearance of my skin. I would think any moisturiser would do the job…
What really made a lot of difference was yoga and Pilates.. after 6 months of 3 times a week, i have arm definition now!!! (I lost 4 stones with MJ and started put with very jiggly arms)

I'm older (74) and have dry skin anyway. I also use Aveeno, but use their "Skin Relief" moisturising lotion which is meant for very dry skin.

Anything that is good for dry skin. I found good old E45 worked wonders

Vaseline Intensive Care Mature Skin Rejuvenation works wonders and isn’t expensive either. Smells lovely and clean.
