View SephoraWhat Sephora says
A rich yet lightweight cream moisturizer to comfort and soothe the skin barrier.
After morning/evening cleansing, apply 1/2 finger-length amount onto face, neck, and décolleté.
For best results, layer on top of Glazing Milk and Peptide Glazing Fluid as the last step in your routine.
What Glass adds
This is a straightforward moisturizer that does what it says: it moisturizes and supports the skin barrier. It's a good choice if your routine is missing a dedicated moisturizer or if you're looking for something gentle and effective. However, if you're seeking advanced actives or specific treatment benefits, you'll need to look elsewhere.
