I absolutely adore this moisturizer. I first discovered it in 2019 and instantly fell in love. I used it consistently for two years before getting curious and testing out other popular brands like Biossance, Tatcha, Youth to the People, Dieux, Dr. Dennis Gross, and Skinfix. After all that experimenting, I’ve come full circle—this is my holy grail. It deeply nourishes and repairs my skin barrier, k sephora.com
