What the community says
A ceramide-rich cream with centella, sunflower oil, and a deliberately occlusive finish for dry, irritated patches or retinoid nights. It works best for dry and combination skin, while oily or fragrance-reactive users may find it greasy, slow-sinking, or irritating.
What this means for you
