Medium-to-heavy-weight cream that can be used for hands, face & body. Very soothing. Can be used after tret or retinol on face if needed, esp. in winter.
This balm is really lovely and super hydrating. I often use it on my body as the skin on my face is super sensitive. It spreads really nicely, and a little goes a long way.
