Final thought:
This is my second tube for my dry and sensitive skin. At first, I was confused how and when should i use this cos on the tube itself said this is balm???….. wait what BALM.
Let me appreciate the texture. It is so muddy cream yet it absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving my skin plump and smoother a bit white cast but it will gone in the next seconds. Seeing the texture, i thought wow…it might be so heavy and greasy once I applied it for my whole face, but it turned out unexpected lol. This balm is really nourishing and it works well as it claimed for my skin. I normally use it once i got irritated from trying and testing too many skincare products or for my retinol night. And sometimes might be the time that i over exfoliated hehe. It is very gentle for the sensitive skin as well. The redness, itchiness, are always gone in the next morning, as it promises hehe.
Personally, i only use this at night, sometimes in the morning once i feel my skin needed sth stronger than normal moisturizer.
Unlike other moisturizer, this balm you need to use it in an appropriate amount, not applying too much for your skin else it will clog your pores or you will over moisturizing your skin which is not so good.
I am sure that oily skin wont love this since the texture is quite heavy for them.
My holy grail 10 / 10
