Pros

  • Fragrance-free and minimal-ingredient formula great for highly sensitive or eczema-prone skin
  • Highly occlusive texture excellent for sealing in moisture and soothing dryness, especially under tretinoin
  • Widely used in dermatology-recommended tretinoin sandwich method to reduce irritation and flaking

Cons

  • Heaviness can clog pores and trigger closed comedones or cystic acne in combo and acne-prone skin
  • Some users report it feels greasy, pasty, or sits on skin without absorbing well, causing pilling under makeup or sunscreen
  • Not ideal for daily daytime use due to thickness; can exacerbate redness or dryness in certain sensitive or reactive skin types
