Horrible. if I could rate 0, I would. I have seb derm and this made it so much worse, likely the horrible fragrance that is beyond strong, it's nauseating. And also alcohols, and a vibrant bright pink dye. is dye even necessary?? for a product aimed at sensitive, skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis, it has alot of horrible ingredients.
