Ceramide and cica serum strengthens a fragile barrier without clogging acne-prone skin.

What the community says

A lightweight ceramide serum with cica, allantoin, and humectants for barrier support when retinoids or eczema leave skin reactive. It layers neatly under moisturizer, though the price stings and one user finished it without planning to repurchase.
