What Glass adds
This is a classic, effective moisturizer for dry skin. It focuses on barrier support and hydration, making it a reliable step in a routine for those with dryness or dehydration. It doesn't offer active exfoliation or brightening, so it's best used as a dedicated hydrator.
Comfort for dry skin
Many users with dry or mature skin report that this moisturizer provides immediate relief and lasting comfort, significantly reducing tightness and flakiness.
Barrier support
The blend of lipids and hydrators is noted for helping to strengthen the skin's natural barrier, leading to more resilient skin over time.
