Customer Reviews
Pretty good – February 24, 2026
Already used one before. I have dermatitis and sensitive skin in general, also some deep pimples around my mouth and this has been great, no reactions, keeps my skin pretty hydrated, didn’t trigger the dermatitis and helped with pimples in combination with retinal. It does leave a film on the skin though so keep that in mind. I had better creams that were discontinued but this one is pretty good and I would buy again.
Moisturizer – March 1, 2026
Amazing moisturizer with a lovely texture that deeply hydrates your skin, it is a must have.
Skin Type: Sensitive, dry, dehydrated, acne-prone
Best For: Barrier repair, redness, compromised skin
How to Use
Use after toner and serum. Apply a moderate amount evenly across the face and gently pat to aid absorption.
Please note
For both rosacea and eczema, barrier repair is key, and this cream is very barrier focused. That is a strong positive.
What to watch out for
• It contains 4-Terpineol, a tea tree derivative. Some people tolerate this well, others with rosacea or eczema may find it irritating.
• It is a richer cream. Most eczema skins love this. Some rosacea skins that flush easily may prefer something lighter.
For rosacea
If redness is mainly dryness driven and barrier related, this could be a very good option.
If the person flushes easily, reacts to many products, or has active flare-ups, introduce slowly and patch test first.
For eczema
This is generally well suited because eczema is strongly linked to barrier dysfunction. Ceramides and panthenol are both textbook ingredients for eczema-prone skin. Again, patch testing is wise.
Please do the following when using for the first time
• Patch test behind ear or jaw for 24 to 48 hours
• Start once daily at night
• Avoid layering with strong actives during flare-ups
