5 experts · Moderate agreementWhat the gurus are saying
Oat is the star here, and the glossy slip from squalane is what gets mentioned next. Experts like it for sensitive, rosacea-prone, dry or even oily skin, since it's fragrance free and pairs glycerin, ceramides and shea with the soothing oat. The honest caveat: a couple of verdicts call it good but middle of the road, a moisturizer that does its job without being worth obsessing over.
