You can actually see the ceramide beads in this cream, and they melt into a rich, silky layer that's never greasy or sticky. Experts reach for it when skin feels dry, irritated or sensitive, and even oily or acne-prone skin can still wear it. The catch: it can feel stuffy under makeup, so you may prefer it as a night cream.
