Meh

It’s fine. Nothing special. I have used other K beauty products with Ectoin that are far more impressive. This is a very liquidy moisturizer that somehow makes my very dry skin look very greasy and feel like there’s a slick oily layer on top. I don’t think it ever truly sinks in. May try this on my body instead, just to use it up.

Excellent for skin barrier health

I’m using tretinoin multiple times per week while dealing with some dermatitis around my mouth, and this has been a lifesaver. With tret, I use the sandwich method and this works so well as the first layer of moisturizer. It’s also helped greatly with redness, dry patches, and peeling/shedding skin. It’s also not too oily to wear during the day. I appreciate The Ordinary’s no nonsense formulas that just work, and this is no exception. Will be a staple in my skincare routine from now on.
