"I've been using it every single night for the past two weeks and it always does a great job of moisturizing my skin overnight. I never wake up feeling dry or dehydrated, but it still doesn't make me look extra shiny or greasy. I absolutely love this one and I'm definitely going to be finishing the rest of the tube. This [...] is definitely an underrated product that I don't see enough people talking about and you should definitely try it."

"I did in fact finish the Abib Ectoin Panthenol 11% Moisturizer that I reviewed for you guys in my ectoin video. This was likewise wonderful. It's a richer cream and it's great for areas of the face or body where you've developed irritation. You really want to take advantage of some rich moisturizing, but you want to also work in the ectoin angle. This would be a great one to consider. And it's pretty cost effective, fragrance-free. No complaints. I would definitely repurchase that one."

Why Ectoin Might Be the Barrier-Repair Ingredient Your Skin Needs

"This one will have your back. It's great for dry or sensitive skin types as a night cream. Not to say that if you have oily skin, you cannot use it. [...] You may not like the way they feel on your oily skin. But this one, I think is a great option for pretty much anyone. If you watched my recent Korean skincare video, you'll recall this is a newer product for me in my routine, and I have really, really, really been loving it and impressed with it."

Dermatologist Skincare Empties: What I’d Actually Buy Again

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is an antioxidant, and it is often in a formula to keep the other ingredients stable rather than as the active itself. It pairs well with vitamin C, though on its own the evidence for visible change is limited.
