What the community says

Pros

  • Ceramide-infused petrolatum alternative that locks in moisture effectively overnight
  • Favored for targeted use around eyes, lips, and irritated patches during tretinoin or eczema flare-ups
  • Helps plump and calm skin by sealing in hydrating layers during PM routines

Cons

  • New formula is much stickier and greasier, turning many longtime users off
  • Too heavy for some, leading to breakouts or milia especially on acne-prone/combination skin
  • Can trap irritation if layered over actives too soon, requiring careful timing to avoid worsening redness
