If there’s a cream that truly defines occlusive, this one is it. Okay, maybe that’s a bit dramatic, but I genuinely feel how incredibly well this cream works on my dry skin, since using it, my skin has never felt dry again. It’s an absolute lifesaver for anyone using retinol, retinal, or even tretinoin. Pairing retinoic acid with this cream has been a game-changer for me, keeping my skin barrier strong, hydrated, and irritation-free. I use it every night, and on retinoid nights, I apply it using the sandwich method, the perfect combo for smoothing fine lines, brightening, and evening out skin texture. The texture is thick, with visible ceramide beads, but surprisingly, it absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel greasy at all. Every time I wake up after using this, my skin looks glowy, plump, and deeply nourished. I adore this cream, huge thanks to whoever formulated it!

It's packed with Centella Asiatica and aloe flower extract are a a great combo that is soothing and helps calm. The lightweight, gel-like texture absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, my skin looked and felt plump hydrated, and incredibly soft the same night I applied it !
