I call this my genie in a bottle! For someone like me who has sensitive, dry skin, this is an absolute life saviour! This is always the first product I reach for when my skin is distressed as it brings immediate comfort. The silky lotion combines organic sunflower oil with natural extracts of calendula, pansy & chamomile. This works as a phenomenal moisturising treatment. It absorbs easily, a litt savvy_skincarebeauty · sephora.co.uk

I picked this up when my skin was flaking from winter + retinol, and wow. This is true intense hydration without feeling greasy or heavy. What I love: • Texture: Thick but sinks in fast. No sticky film, no pilling under makeup. • Relief: Instantly calms that tight, itchy dry feeling. My redness was down by day 3. • Ingredients: Colloidal oatmeal + shea butter combo is perfect for my sensitive skin Ashley · ulta.com
