- The inclusion of Portulaca Oleracea Extract and Allantoin further supports skin comfort, though additional emollient ingredients would enhance nourishment for your skin type.
- The product is safe for your sensitive skin, containing no harsh ingredients and featuring soothing extracts like Witch Hazel and Portulaca Oleracea.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start by using the sheet mask 3 times a week and increase if your skin feels good.
