Centella and squalane barrier cream for tret and rosacea recovery; pricey.

What the community says

A silky barrier cream built around centella, squalane, glycerin, and shea butter for skin that’s raw from tret or rosacea flares. It calms and moisturizes well, but some very dehydrated faces still find it stingy or not enough.
