Barrier cream for tret dryness; rich, plumping, and surprisingly makeup-friendly.

What the community says

A lipid-rich moisturizer built for dry, tret-wrecked, or sensitized skin. People with rosacea and barrier damage keep calling it a winter staple, and it layers well under makeup. Richer textures can feel heavy in heat.
