Read the threads ↓What people love
- Inert and fragrance-free, making it unlikely to cause allergic reactions
- Widely used to seal in hydration and speed barrier healing, especially on dry, flaky, or compromised skin
- Popular as a protective layer around sensitive areas like eyes, lips, and nose to reduce irritation and tretinoin migration
Watch out for
- Can feel greasy and heavy, often disliked for its texture by those with oily or combination skin
- May exacerbate clogged pores or cause breakouts for some, especially when overused or applied on acne-prone areas
- Should not be layered on top of active retinoids as it increases irritation and penetration risk, and can trap impurities leading to worsening skin issues
