I have been really liking this for calming down my petrified skin after laser hair removal. I enjoy the herbal medicinal smell and its viscosity makes it nicely hydrating. Will definitely be buying the bigger version eventually, I imagine it will work well for travel where my skin gets so dry and breaks out.
