Sidmool Idebenone Elastic Force Moisture Cream 20 ingredients
Rovectin Cica Care Sleeping Pack 34 ingredients
I think it's a solid 4.5/5
It's non-comedogenic and locks in moisture very well. Calms and even brightens my complexion, evening out the skin tone. A good purchase for anyone from people with dry skin to acne girlies who want to repair their skin barrier.
Only pet peeve is it can't be used as a day moisturizer, since it can peel and if you put a thick layer it's a bit like vaseline but dryer?. Show more
It does it's job. I use it to lock in my night routine and it certainly does. It smell great too!
