Rich occlusive moisturizer that saves tretinoin-dry skin; thick and heavy.

What the community says

A basic, no-frills cream built to sit on top of tretinoin routines and protect dry patches. It’s the kind of moisturizer people keep reaching for morning and night. Heavy texture may be too much for oily skins.
