A cream that supports skin’s protective barrier within the first five minutes of use.
Use the wand provided to apply in the AM and PM after cleansing.
What Glass adds
This is a barrier-focused moisturizer that excels at providing immediate comfort and hydration. It's a good choice for dry, mature, or compromised skin, but might be too rich for oily or acne-prone types. Its primary function is to moisturize and support the skin barrier, not to treat specific concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation.
