Panthenol-rich barrier balm that calms tret burn fast; breaks some people out.

What the community says

A thick cica barrier balm with panthenol, centella, and dimethicone. Best for over-exfoliated, retinoid-wrecked, or rosacea-prone skin that needs sealing, not light hydration. Oily or acne-prone folks often find it too occlusive, shiny, or cloggy.
