What people love

Highly effective for treating tretinoin-induced dryness and peeling
Rich, lotion-like texture that cuts down on layering steps
Boosts skin barrier repair with ceramides, fatty acids, and cholesterol

Watch out for

Not a lightweight serum—may be too thick for some combo or oily skin types
