My holy grail. I was in desperate need of a barrier repairing moisturizer as I recently started accutane & cerave just wasn't cutting it. It is surprisingly lightweight, non-sticky, and leaves a nice glow on your skin and my skin still feels moisturized & hydrated in the morning even after rolling my face on my pillows.
It’s a good heavy cream but it’s sticky and sort of drying which is weird because it’s so heavy.
