Ingredients Explained

Ceramides are intercellular lipids naturally found in our skin that bonds dead skin cells together to create a barrier. They are known for their ability to hold water and thus are a great ingredient for dry skin.
Ceramides are an important building block for our skin barrier. A stronger barrier helps the skin look more firm and hydrated. By bolstering the skin ceramides act as a barrier against irritating ingredients. This can help with inflammation as well.
If you would like to eat ceramides, sweet potatoes contain a small amount.

Wanted to love it but isn't moisturizing enough for my needs. Having super sensitive skin, this didn't cause any burning sensation despite the fragrance.

Alright!
I think this product was overhyped for me. I like how light it is and how it feels on my skin. It is definitely hydrating - but I haven't noticed any improvements (dark spots, redness) beyond that.
i wanted to love this so much as the ingredients are great and i thought it would be great for me. it feels really nice on my skin at first and absorbs super well but broke me out a lot over a few days. i got clusters of little red spots and my skin just overall looked worse. turns out in may be centella which is frustrating because it’s meant to be an amazing ingredient :( 3 other products with Show more
