A fast-absorbing, cushiony, dermatologist-tested moisturizing cream with five ceramides and panthenol to support a strong skin barrier, add moisture, and visibly boost elasticity.

Avoid eye area.
What Glass adds
This is a dependable moisturizer for barrier support and general hydration. It’s a good option if your skin feels dry, tight, or is showing signs of irritation due to a weakened barrier. It doesn't offer active treatment for concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation, but it excels at its primary job: moisturizing and protecting.

Users frequently mention how this cream helped calm redness and irritation, attributing it to the ceramides and their ability to restore the skin's protective layer.
Hydration without greasiness
Many reviewers appreciate that the cream provides significant moisture without leaving a greasy residue, making it comfortable for all-day wear.

FAQ
Yes, this moisturizer is excellent for dry skin due to its rich emollient and humectant ingredients, including ceramides, glycerin, and shea butter, which help to deeply hydrate and support the skin barrier.
While formulated for dry and normal skin, some individuals with oily skin who are experiencing dryness or barrier issues might find it beneficial. However, it may feel too heavy for very oily skin, especially in humid climates.
The main benefits are strengthening the skin barrier, providing deep hydration, soothing dryness and irritation, and improving skin elasticity. The five ceramides work to restore the skin's natural protective layer.
