Tret-friendly cream delivers deep hydration and glassy radiance; greasy for some.

What the community says

A rich cream built around hydroxydecyl ubiquinone, niacinamide, panthenol, ceramides, and multiple hyaluronic acids, with a pudding-like finish. It suits dry or tret-stressed skin chasing glow, but oily users may find the residue greasy or sticky.
