Perfect for sensitive skin
Size: 1.3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I have insanely sensitive, blemish prone skin and have been struggling to find skincare products that don’t irritate my skin. This was recommended to me by my dermatology office and I’m obsessed. My skin doesn’t get irritated and I don’t break out. It feels amazing. Not too thick, not too thin. As an added bonus, it smells great.
