  • These ingredients also offer moderate benefits for redness and irritation by soothing the skin.
  • The formulation is safe for your sensitive skin, as it lacks any prohibited or harsh ingredients that could cause irritation.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start applying this creamy mask 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.

  • Gently spread a thin layer of the creamy mask onto your face, avoiding any rubbing to protect your delicate skin.
