Barrier-supporting cream with glycerin and dimethicone; matte finish, occasional bumps.
What the community says
A lighter barrier cream with glycerin, dimethicone, sodium hyaluronate, and bisabolol for tret-dried, irritated skin. It dries matte instead of greasy, but sticky feel, bumps, and occasional redness make it a gamble for acne-prone or reactive users.
