Pros

  • Ceramide-infused occlusive that seals in hydration all night
  • Frequently used around vulnerable areas (eyes, nose, mouth) to prevent tretinoin irritation
  • Favored for slugging and barrier repair by many with very dry or eczema-prone skin

Cons

  • Texture is super heavy and greasy, not suited for daytime or oily skin types
  • May contribute to milia or acne in some, especially if overused or on acne-prone areas
  • Not ideal for those who find thick ointments occlusive and pore-clogging, can worsen breakouts or feel suffocating
