Lightweight barrier lotion for tret irritation; breaks some people out.

What the community says

A fluid moisturizer that layers cleanly after retinoids and brings glycerin, dimethicone, sodium hyaluronate, and a barrier-supporting lipid complex to dehydrated skin. It suits sensitive, oily-leaning users, though some rosacea users report immediate redness and acne-prone users report clogged bumps.
