Read the threads ↓What people love
- Thick, lotion-like formula that moisturizes without needing extra layers
- Widely used as a buffer to reduce tretinoin-induced dryness and peeling
- Rich in ceramides, fatty acids, cholesterol, and beta glucan for barrier repair
Watch out for
- Can feel heavy and leave a dewy, shiny finish that's not ideal for summer or oily skin
- Some find it too rich or emollient, potentially overwhelming for combination/oily skin
- Needs to be layered before moisturizer, which can extend routine time
