Helped with damaged skin barrier
After I accidently used a skincare product that was too abrasive, my skin would flare up and nothing would soothe it down, thankfully I found this miracle product. Reduced a lot of my redness, if you are looking to strengthen your skin barrier this is a great product to start with, little to no chance of breaking out with it.

So beautiful and soothing. Always makes my dry skin feel rejuvenated without being too heavy or sticky. Great value as well- I bought it at Marshalls for half price! :))
