What the community says
Thick cream in a tub with a rich, heavy formula favored for dry and sensitive skin, especially as a zeroth step moisturizer during tretinoin use, but frequently flagged for clogging pores and causing breakouts in acne-prone and rosacea-prone skin.
What people love
- Heavy, occlusive texture locks in moisture and helps tackle tret-induced dryness
- Effective as a body cream for very dry skin and eczema patches
- Fragrance-free formula suits those avoiding irritants
Watch out for
- Can exacerbate acne and cause cystic breakouts, especially on oily or acne-prone skin
- Too thick and heavy for some users, leading to milia and a greasy feeling under makeup
- May irritate sensitive or compromised skin barriers, sometimes causing redness or stinging
