I'm not sure if you are looking for one product to do all this but I don't think there is one. You could have a product with multiple benefits but not one suitable for face and body if you have dry skin. I would be careful to use a more gentle facial product on dry facial skin to avoid irritation.
First off, if any of your skin is cracked or irritated, I would first use either Vaseline or A&D ointment (the clear brown kind) to heal the skin first. Apply twice a day, once immediately after cleansing and at night, until the skin is healed.
For body skin, as long as your skin isn't cracked or irritated, I would suggest an AHA body cream. The acid is a chemical exfoliator and will help smooth the skin and help the moisturizer absorb. Avon makes a great one called PLANET SPA African Shea Butter Foot & Elbow Cream with AHA. You also could use a physical exfoliator. For dry skin my recommendation would be to first put oil, bath or baby, on your dry skin, then take a body scrub and rub it gently into the skin. Take a shower with a moisturizing soap and gently wash yourself. Don't worry to leave most of the oil on your skin. Your skin will be moisturized and smooth. If you want a separate body cream I think Nivea original is great, it is really thick and wonderful. Petroleum Jelly (Vaseline) works wonders too, especially if your skin is cracked.
For face you could use a cream with retinol to help skin turn over faster. A product with glycolic acid would exfoliate also. I would not use a scrub on very dry skin. Avon Banishing Cream Skin Discoloration Improver has mild retinol in it. I think ideally pick a face cream that is very rich, use cold cream if your skin is extremely dry and then use a mild peel of glycolic acid to exfoliate.
I hope I have answered your question! I am not sure if you wanted specific product recommendations or not. If you want to look for products or ask me any question you can contact me through my Avon store. http://cney.avonrepresentative.com/
