Ceramide-rich milky essence for barrier repair and serious hydration; can feel heavy.

A milky essence packed with ceramides, cholesterol, fatty acids, panthenol, and ferments. Dry, dehydrated, tret-wrecked, or rosacea-prone skin tends to love it; combo and oily folks often find it too rich, sticky, or breakout-prone.
