Glycerin - it's a natural humectant and emollient, meaning without preservatives/parabens, as with Aveeno, and ALL other creams and lotions.
Lecithin capsules also moisturize the skin from the inside. Take one or two daily.
And then there are natural biological oils such as Emu, Squalane, and Jojoba. Excellent for soaking into the skin, and for healing.
Vitamin E does not moisturize well as it just sits on top of the skin. It is mainly a powerful antioxidant.

Although my kids hate to hear me say it, the answer is pretty simple...
Drink more water - at least 64 oz a day!
We have so many tasty choices of beverages, but they don't really hydrate or satisfy your body's thirst like good ol' plain water. If you start getting eight 8oz glasses regularly you can pretty much say goodbye to dry lips and irritated & itchy skin without having to spend a dime on other "products".

plain dry oatmeal. pour a cup of oatmeal in a warm bath and soak for about 20 to 30 minutes. If it's a large tub use 2 cups.

Drink lots of water and don't take hot showers or baths. The hot water dries the skin's natural oils. Try warm water instead.

Dont stay under warm (hot) water too long and moisturize as soon as you get out of the shower to lock in moisture.

Exfoliate off the dead skin with a wash cloth. That'll get rid of the dry flakes, and leave the healthy skin behind, which will make it more susceptible to absorbing lotion.

As I'm sure you know, their are numerous home remedies and and equal number of OTC products for skin problems.
If it was me, and the problem was significant and chronic as well, I'd see a Dermatologist as soon as possible.

Make sure you exfoliate in the shower. Use an exfoliating cream or soap and a loofa. Drink lots of water and take warm showers, not hot ones. Avoid baths.
