What people love

  • Patented ceramide blend that supports skin barrier repair
  • Thick, creamy texture ideal for occlusive night use or dry patches
  • Fragrance-free option appreciated by sensitive and redness-prone skin

Watch out for

  • Heavy and rich texture can feel too occlusive or greasy on oily skin
  • Fragranced version exists, which can irritate sensitive skin despite other benefits
  • Best used in PM only; too heavy for daytime or layering under makeup
