I have been using this mask for many years. I don’t necessarily use it as a mask, but as a moisturiser. It is rich and soothing and can absolutely be left on overnight. I do my nightly routine (including tretinoin) and apply this mask as the last step over my moisturiser. It has been the missing step in my routine that has finally solved my extremely dry skin issues. It is a superb product for dry Show more
One of my must-haves! Context: I have dry skin. And I live in Sweden. On top of that, I travel to work by bike all year round. This is the only cream so far that keeps my skin soft and hydrated through the unreasonably cold winters here. I use it as a night cream, and as a day cream during the coldest days. Doesn't trigger any breakouts for me, and it doesn't make my ridiculously sensitive eyes Show more
