The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a cosmetic product works to improve skin condition in adults with dry, very dry, sensitive and cracked skin showing discomfort. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does the cosmetic increase skin hydration and skin barrier function? * Does the cosmetic improve skin discomfort signs? Researchers will compare the skin condition with and without product use to see if it works to improve dry, sensitive and cracked skin. Participants will: * Use cosmetic twice a day for 1 month * Visit the research center on day 1, 2, 7 and 28 of product use for evaluations
