So good! Use after put retinol on then this will help calm your skin
I have used this exclusively as a day time night time moisturizer and it’s the best I’ve ever used. I have clog prone, combo, dehydrated, sensitive skin and this is the ONLY, and I mean ONLY cream I can tolerate. Don’t let sleeping pack scare you. Didn’t trigger any acne or fungal acne, isn’t too heavy. It’s 10/10. I think I’ve passed year 3 of using this.
