“Suitable for sensitive skin and dry to very dry skin”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, sodium hyaluronate.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: dimethicone, caprylyl glycol.
The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

Holy grail for irritated skin. I'll always go back to it.
So I use this product at night at the very end of my routine. Acts as an occlusive to help my other products soak in and it also helps prevent sebaceous filaments from forming on my nose. I really love how it feels applied and how my skin feels in the morning. It does leave a white cast but I don't have a man so who cares lol.
Good repair cream to use after serums and as a base for makeup or a light sunscreen.
