Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Item Beauty Lite Sauce Clean Balancing Gel Moisturizer with Ceramides 25 ingredients
decent moisturizer
i got this on sale when the brand was being phased out of sephora. it’s a pretty decent moisturizer that also works as a primer. unfortunately, it sometimes pills due to the dimethicone.
Bioderma Sébium Hydra 25 ingredients
Good moisturizer but I think it is more suitable for combination skin but there is no problem in using a little of it for oily skin as it is beautiful and leaves the skin moisturized all day and does not cause redness or harm to sensitive skin I liked it and I do not think it is heavy and clogs the pores of the skin but I am looking for a better moisturizer for oily skin
