More moisturizer, more flaking?

Does anyone else’s flaking get worse the more moisturizer you use? I’ve got seborrheic derm, not eczema, and everyone here swears by barrier repair and thick creams. Every time I go heavy, my eyebrows and hairline just get greasier and flakier within a day, not better! I don’t know anymore… is this just a seborrheic thing, or am I doing it wrong?

    OP, how long has this been going on, weeks or months? Curious what you’re actually using, because thick barrier creams can make seb derm worse right at the hairline and brows since that skin runs oilier already, and heavy stuff just sits on top instead of soaking in.
