Ceramide-rich barrier cream for tret dryness and winter dehydration; pricey, occasionally breakout-prone.

What the community says

A lipid-rich moisturizer with glycerin, squalane, urea, ceramide NG, and peptides, built for dry, retinoid-stressed skin. It layers beautifully under makeup and helps prevent peeling, but oily or breakout-prone users may find it too rich.
