Panthenol-heavy barrier balm that calms redness fast; too thick for some acne-prone skin.

What the community says

A thick occlusive balm with panthenol, centella, zinc gluconate, and madecassoside. People grab it for tret burn, rosacea flares, and angry barrier days. It’s not a true moisturizer, and acne-prone skin often finds it too heavy.
