Irritated Skin Savior
This is my favorite product for when my skin is irritated. It's such a soothing gel with 92% centella asiatica extract and ceramide NP. Even those rare times where my skin is super red and inflamed, this has never stung on me. I like to keep mine in the fridge for an extra cooling sensation and I've also used this with skincare devices to give extra slip to the skin.
