What the gurus are saying

This balm's density and oil content mean a little goes a long way, with some finding it lasting through winters on a single jar at around £27. What stands out for those with compromised skin barriers is that it calms irritation without the sting that even heavy-duty repair creams can bring, making it a reliable choice when skin is sensitised or recovering. You can layer it into day or night routines depending on how occlusive you need your moisturiser to be.

"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."
