Bioderma Atoderm Ultra Cream 24 ingredients
MY HOLY GRAIL.
my dry skin loves it!!!!! Can’t recommend enough. Been using since forever. Recovered my skin barrier when I was using Tretinoin along with snail mucin from cosarx
this is the best moisturiser ever the only thing that i dont like about it its that its absorbs pretty hard but thats because its a thicker formula.
