The Best!
I bought this on the recommendation of a friend because I had recently been diagnosed with lupus, and my face was really a mess. When I read that it was endorsed by the National eczema foundation, I felt really confident getting it. It has been a miracle moisturizer for me and I love it. It’s soft and it’s creamy. It feels so nice on my poor damaged skin. And it creates such a nice moisture barrier and is so hydrating. I’m so thankful for it! It’s helping my skin so much.

Perfect night cream
This cream is amazing! I layer it over the base milk and it provides great night time moisture with zero sensitivity.

The perfect day layer
I use this as my daytime lotion prior to the super serum skin tint. And, I use it at night under the cream. It is a great base layer for dry, sensitive skin.

Base face milk
This is very soothing on my reactive skin. I use it morning and night and top with my regular moisturizer.
