A mineral oil and glycerin cream built for dry, retinoid-stressed skin and barrier recovery. It layers well after tretinoin or works as a night seal, but oily or clog-prone faces may turn greasy or develop closed comedones.
What this means for you
What people love
- Mineral oil second ingredient; serious occlusion
- Cuts tretinoin peeling and irritation
Watch out for
