## Why this fit

- Excellent suitability for your dry skin is provided by glycerin, panthenol, and sodium hyaluronate for humectant action, alongside Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil and hydrolyzed collagen for emollient and collagen-boosting actions.
- The formula offers excellent soothing and barrier support for your irritated skin due to high concentrations of centella asiatica extract and madecassoside, which are known for their calming and skin-repairing properties.
- There are no risks of irritation for your dry skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients, and the presence of soothing ingredients like allantoin, panthenol, and centella asiatica extract.
