Ingredient Details
Dry skin is often characterized by redness, itchiness, tightness, flaking, peeling, and cracking. Dryness can be caused by a variety of factors: genetics, over-exfoliating, climate, diet, age, and skin conditions.
Decreased natural production of oils, degraded collagen, UV exposure, and lifestyle all contribute to how your skin looks over time. Although we cannot stop aging, there are ingredients that have been shown to slow the process: retinoids, antioxidants, and some peptides.
A scar is an area of fibrous tissue that remains after the skin has been wounded and healed.
Dull skin is temporary; all it usually will need is a little perk-me-up, such as extra hydration, some exfoliation, and vitamin nourishment.
AHAs (or Alpha Hydroxy Acids) remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin.
Vitamin E contains loads of antioxidants which help protect your skin from pollution and reduce hyperpigmentation.
Hyaluronic Acid is a humectant, meaning it has the ability to hold water and rehydrate skin.
May Worsen Oily Skin
from 4 ingredients
Oily Skin is determined by your genetics, but can also be influenced by factors such as stress levels, changing hormonal levels, and humidity.
Common acne is known as Acne vulgaris. Acne forms when skin follicles are clogged by sebum, hair, skin cells, or oils. There are several types of acne: whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts.
Skin irritation can arise from a number of reasons: very dry skin, sensitivity to certain ingredients, allergies, dermatitis, bug bites, eczema, rosacea, and illness are common factors.
Rosacea may be genetic or triggered by mites, bacteria, or blood vessel issues. The most common symptom is redness of the face.

Great moisturizer
I have an acne-prone skin and this moisturizer really matched my skin! The price is perfect for someone who search for a dupe in this category (previously i have been using la mer). It is great base for make up,too. All in all, with someone with skin concerns and dry, sensitive skin is a good choice.
