Early verdict · Few reviews so farWhat 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.
