I use it after applying serum, and my skin stays soft and comfortable throughout the day. Highly recommend it for daily use. Read more
I over exfoliated my skin and caused months long break out on my face. After reading up on how to repair my skin, I decided to try this barrier cream. I love how thin the cream is, you need a pea size for your entire face and it's enough to keep skin feeling moisturized without feeling oily. My skin tends to be oily and this doesn't make it feel congested at at all. Read more
one of my favorite night time moisturizers of all time! i have eczema flares (african american) in the winter and this smooths my skin so much! It helps my flares and scarring fade. It is just so soothing and smoothing, you’ll feel like a baby. you can use it for face or body, or in the daytime with sunscreen since blue guaiazulene makes your skin photo-sensitive (i think). this is my 4th or 5th time repurchasing.

I have both of the creams, the 345 Relief Cream and the 147 Barrier Cream, and I LOVE them both. I use the 345 in the morning as it has a thinner consistency and I use the 147 in the evening before bed because of the thicker consistency. Now I do not use these alone, i have other products that I use to wash, cleanse and tone my face but I have noticed a big difference in the texture of my skin, the moisturizing effects just these products have given me. They are now my go-to moisturizers. Read more
