My HG barrier serum! After I started incorporating this into my routine a couple months ago, my skin has seriously gotten so much better. I struggled with inflammation and irritation, and this serum calms down my skin so much. I love that it not only contains Centella extract, but also its active ingredients which make it more potent. It also contains amazing stuff like niacinamide, ceramide, and peptide. Will always always repurchase. (Literally need to restock asap)
