Skin Type Compatibility
How well this product works for different skin types
Contains multiple emollients (caprylic/capric triglyceride, sunflower oil, hydrogenated vegetable oil) and humectants (propanediol, panthenol), making it highly moisturizing and suitable for dry skin. No known irritants.
Rich emollients and oils may feel heavy or occlusive on oily skin and could potentially contribute to a greasy feel or clogged pores, though no highly comedogenic ingredients are present.
Fragrance-free and formulated with soothing ingredients like panthenol; minimal irritants or allergens, making it well-suited for sensitive skin.
Moisturizing and gentle, but the richness may be too much for oily areas while beneficial for dry patches; may require selective application.
Non-comedogenic oils are used, but the overall richness and presence of several emollients may be too heavy for acne-prone skin and could potentially contribute to breakouts in some individuals.
Well-balanced formula that provides hydration and barrier support without common irritants; suitable for normal skin, though may feel slightly rich for some.
Seasonal Usage Recommendations
How to use this product throughout the year
Winter
Use daily, morning and night, to combat dryness from cold air and indoor heating. Its rich, barrier-repairing formula helps prevent moisture loss and soothes irritation.
Spring
Apply as needed, especially if experiencing dryness or irritation from allergies or fluctuating temperatures. Lighter application may suffice due to increased humidity.
Summer
Use sparingly, primarily at night or on dry patches, as the rich texture may feel heavy in heat and humidity. Consider a lighter moisturizer for daytime if skin feels greasy.
Fall
Increase usage as temperatures drop and air becomes drier. Begin applying more generously to strengthen the skin barrier in preparation for winter.
Enhanced Usage Instructions
Detailed usage guidance for different skin concerns and best practices
Usage by Skin Concern
Dry Skin
Apply a generous layer (about a nickel-sized amount) to clean, slightly damp skin twice daily, morning and night. Focus on areas prone to flakiness or tightness. For extra hydration, layer over a hydrating serum or essence. Gently massage until fully absorbed.
Oily Skin
Use a pea-sized amount once daily, preferably at night, after cleansing. Apply a thin layer to areas that feel dry or tight, avoiding heavy application on the T-zone. If skin feels greasy, reduce frequency to every other day.
Sensitive Skin
Patch test before first use. Apply a thin, even layer (pea-sized amount) to clean, dry skin once or twice daily. Avoid rubbing or tugging. The formula is fragrance-free and formulated for sensitive skin, but discontinue use if irritation occurs.
Combination Skin
Apply a pea-sized amount to the entire face after cleansing, focusing on drier areas (cheeks, jawline). Use a lighter layer on oilier zones (forehead, nose, chin). Use once or twice daily as needed.
Acne-Prone Skin
Non-comedogenic ingredients make it suitable for acne-prone skin, but use a thin layer (pea-sized amount) once daily, preferably at night. Avoid applying to active breakouts if irritation occurs. Monitor for any pore congestion and adjust frequency if needed.
Usage Tips & Best Practices
Daily Use
Can be used daily, morning and night, as the last step in your skincare routine. Always follow with sunscreen in the morning.
