The combination of anti-ageing anti-oxidants, soothing ingredients and ingredients that help to rebuild skin’s barrier function is really impressing. I was actually surprised to find a couple occlusives in this product. It does not at all feel occlusive.
Experience
Texture: white creamy fluid
Smell: no smell
Method of Use: Comes in a pump dispenser and is applied AM and PM. Followed up with a moisturizer.
Wonderful product for sensitive skin! It not only soothes sensitivity SOS but also provides anti-ageing and anti-oxidant benefits. Anti-ageing products are quite rare for sensitive skin because they are mostly too intensive and cause irritation.
I love this product! It is immediately absorbed into the skin. If your skin felt burning or irritated, it delivers immediate relief and your skin feels soft and balanced. With regular and constant use redness subsides and skin looks smoother and healthier. Attention: Even though it says “fluid” on this product it acts more like a serum and needs to be followed up by a moisturizer. When I first bought it, I made the mistake of assuming that it will also keep my skin moisturized – I was wrong! Soon I was running to the store for Verite Moisture Relief Cream
