In their words

Moisture Seal was recommended to me after derma planning and to use after my tretenoin regimen at might. I absolutely love it. It soothed my skin after the facial then as I started using at night over my tretenoin cream , the flaky dry feeling I was getting subsided. I woke up with a much softer moisturized skin. It's so reasonablely priced. I love it. I've used it on the back of my hands and use

It moisturizer is exactly what it says it is - intense. It is too heavy for me to use every day, but it would be perfect for somebody with very dry skin and can be used on the body as well (elbows, knees). It was a lifesaver after my laser facial resurfacing.
