What the gurus are saying

Gurus who tested it found the balm calm and non-irritating even when skin was already inflamed from other products, making it a solid choice for barrier repair. The formula is genuinely dense with oils and waxes, so a little stretches far and the jar lasts through seasons, which keeps the cost per use low despite the upfront price. That thickness means it works well as either a daytime or evening moisturizer, though anyone with very oily skin may want to reserve it for nighttime.

"The Glossier After Balm is really thick. I've been using this for my winters now, a couple years well really since it came out and I've still got a bunch of it left. There's a lot of waxes in here and oils, thick oils, so it's great. You can certainly use it in your daytime routine or evening routine. It will last you forever. It's not terribly expensive to begin with, it's like 27 bucks and a little bit goes a very long way."

"When you try new things sometimes your skin barrier gets pretty irritated. I was using some of my favorites, even La Roche Posay triple moisturizing cream, their double repair facial moisturizing cream, CeraVe healing ointment, and even those were kind of burny and stingy, but this was not. So this has become a staple in my repair skincare routine now. I have just been wildly impressed with that product."
