Our Take

Why it made the edit.

Why we love it: The ceramide, cholesterol and fatty acid combo mirrors what a healthy barrier needs, at a drugstore-friendly price. It hydrates without feeling heavy.
Skip it if: You have very oily skin that prefers a gel moisturizer.
The catch: It is a basics product, so do not expect glow or active ingredients beyond barrier support.
