What Sephora says

What this product is supposed to do

This 98% natural balm-to-serum intensely hydrates, repairs, and soothes with our Moisture Repair Complex - a blend of 16 nourishing ingredients.

NormalDryand Combination

Use as an AM/PM moisturizer, as a moisturizing step before makeup application, or as a "slugging" step to help dry, irritated skin recover.

For dry skin, apply all over the face, blending down to the neck. Then apply Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder in shade Universal (sold separately) to visibly blur pores, balance oil, and smooth texture.

Apply to the body to add glow or target dry areas (like elbows, hands, and cuticles).

Pro tip: For combination skin, try "skin mapping," analyzing your skin concerns and strategically applying different formulas where you may need them.

What Glass adds

What actually matters before you buy it

This is a multi-tasking balm that excels at delivering deep hydration and barrier support. It's a great option for dry, dehydrated, or irritated skin, and its versatility makes it a valuable addition to many routines.

Skin transformation

Users report significant improvement in skin dryness and texture after consistent use, with many calling it a 'holy grail' for their skin concerns.

Makeup prep

Many find it creates a smooth, hydrated canvas for makeup, preventing foundation from settling into dry patches.

Best for

When this is a smart buy

Skin needing barrier repair
Those looking for a rich, emollient texture

Routine fit

How to best use this balm

Apply as the last step in your skincare routine, or before makeup. For intense repair, use it as a 'slugging' balm overnight. It can also be applied to dry patches on the body.

Why it works

Where it earns the slot and where it does not

The useful question is not whether this product is good in a vacuum. It is whether it makes your routine easier to run or just adds one more bottle with a familiar ingredient on it.

What it actually does well

Intense hydration
Effective barrier repair
Soothing for irritated skin
Versatile application
Pleasant, non-greasy finish for its richness

Where it starts to feel redundant

May be too heavy for very oily skin types
The balm texture requires a bit of warming up

Routine fit

Where it belongs in the stack

Morning and Night

This balm can be used both morning and night. In the morning, it acts as a hydrating primer. At night, it provides intensive repair and moisture.

Can this be used as a primer?
