Ceramide formulation deeply repairs dry, sensitive skin barrier; thick and rich feel.

This cream targets dry, sensitive skin needing barrier repair with ceramides and soothing agents. It works well for eczema and redness but is heavy and can feel greasy for combination or oily skin types. Those sensitive to eucalyptus may want to avoid it.

Watch out for
