I bought this while looking for a soothing cream after extractions, and I’d like to introduce a holy grail item that I’ve been using consistently for years! I have acne-prone skin, but applying it to irritated areas after extraction helps them heal quickly without scarring. It’s also great for applying to a face that’s flushed from sun exposure. I don't apply it before makeup because it causes it to pill, but during the dry autumn and winter seasons, it is an essential item that I make sure to apply after washing my face in the evening before going to bed!
