Rich barrier balm with centella and ceramides; soothes but may clog pores.
What the community says
A thick, occlusive balm combining panthenol, madecassoside, and petrolatum for barrier repair and soothing. Favored for sensitive, dry, and irritated skin needing protection but tends to clog pores and feel greasy for acne-prone users. Best reserved for occasional or spot treatment due to heaviness and potential breakouts.
