Why We Love It

This can lead to increased dryness, discomfort, and heightened skin reactivity. Our Ultra Facial Advanced Repair Barrier Cream with Colloidal Oatmeal and Beta-Glucan works as a more intensive treatment to fortify the barrier, instantly soothe, and reduce visible redness for relieved, healthy-looking skin.
