Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.

Triple active l'oreal
I use this moisturizer after using ingredients that dry out my skin such as salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide. It helped my skin to stop peeling off and drying out. Although, I wounld't use it as my general everyday moisturizer as it can be too heavy and oily. It's not the best product on the market, but it gets the job done.
